| Resumen |
An account of the latest findings concerning the carcinogenic action of vinyl chloride and the standard for occupational exposure to vinyl chloride recommended by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is followed by considerations on exposure other than in the plastics industry (insecticide sprays, cosmetics). While the American TLV was lowered from 200 to 50ppm on 5 Apr. 1974, the Swedish TLV was lowered from 500 to 20ppm (allowing for a 15min ceiling value of 50ppm) a few weeks later. The question is raised as to whether polyvinyl chloride sets free dangerous amounts of vinyl chloride during conversion or use. |
