| Abstract |
Recommendations are made for the prevention of occupational disease due to hydroquinone. The ceiling concentration is 2.Omg/m3 (about 44ppm) determined during a 15-min collection period. Other recommendations relate to medical supervision, labelling, personal protection, information of personnel, work and sanitation practices, monitoring and recordkeeping. The criteria on which the recommendations are based are discussed at some length under the following heads: biological effects of exposure, environmental data and engineering controls and development of the standard. Research needs are defined and procedures for sampling and analysis are given in appendices. |
