Aimed at occupational physicians, this manual provides information on the toxicology of various groups of chemicals, including: metals and their compounds; hydrocarbons (solvents); alcohols and ketones; ethers and aldehydes; phenol derivatives; crude coke-oven gas; petroleum derivatives; natural or synthetic acids and greases; respiratory tract irritants; inorganic powders; cotton and other vegetable fibres; asphyxiating gases; skin, respiratory tract and lung sensitizers; enzymes; pesticides; pharmaceutical industry products (oestrogens, penicillin, cephalosporin); plastics; substances that cause skin hypopigmentation; substances that are harmful to tooth enamel or tooth structure. For each product, a table presents the general characteristics, areas of use and permissible levels, acute and chronic effects, periodical medical examinations and recommended biological sampling. Surveillance criteria for exposed workers are also summarised and accompanied by information on the course of action to be followed by the occupational physician. |
