| Abstract |
Results of examinations of 260 workers in the viscose rayon industry to detemine possible vascular changes in the retina. No change was found in workers with less than 15 years' exposure, but 23.8% of these workers had disorders of the retina due to exposure to CS2. There is a correlation between the prevalence of pathological findings and exposure index, but no dose-effect relation could be found from analysis of workplace air. |
