Maximum immission concentration

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The maximum immission concentration ( MIK value ) is an abbreviation for max. Immission concentration and the value set by the Air Quality Commission in the VDI 2310 guideline for a certain level of air pollution at which, according to the current state of knowledge, no harm to humans , animals or plants occurs.

To protect people, maximum immission concentrations (MIK values) are specified, the time base of which ranges from 0.5 hours to a maximum of one year. In contrast to the TA Luft and the ordinances to the Federal Immission Control Act , comparative values ​​are also provided for short-term immission peaks. Substances that are suspected of having a carcinogenic or mutagenic effect have not been included in the guideline, since the minimization requirement applies to such substances for the reasons mentioned above.

Indoor air

Set up by the Air Pollution Control Commission with the aim of avoiding damage to human health, especially of children, the elderly and the sick, even in the event of uninterrupted long-term exposure, and to ensure protection against harmful effects on animals, plants and property. MIK values ​​are given as the ratio of pollutant mass to air volume, e.g. B. in mg / m³. The values ​​are purely effect-related, scientifically justified and derived from practical experience. They do not take into account the technical feasibility and - in contrast to the immission limit values ​​of the TA Luft and the 33rd BImSchV - are not legally binding.
