Título original Indagine conoscitiva sugli ambienti di lavoro dei tomaifici [en italiano]
Información bibliográfica Jul. 1975, Vol.27, No.4, p.104-113. 6 ref.
Resumen Description and results of a survey carried out by the Labour Inspectorate in small Italian firms using various adhesive pastes, glues and cements in manufacturing shoe uppers. Alarm was caused by the outbreak of numerous cases of polyneuritis. The medical inspectors of labour carried out an investigation of the employees' living and working conditions and environment, and the microclimatic conditions at the workplace; they monitored the workplace air for harmful substances, especially solvents. The atmospheric concentration of the most frequently used solvent, hexane, was as high as 670ppm in some places. Proposed improvements.
