| Resumen |
A medical survey was conducted among 43 workers employed at a trinitrotoluene (TNT) filling and packing operation. As a consequence of increased production, average TNT dust levels had risen from 0.3 to 0.8mg/m3 (the current TLV is 1.5mg/m3). Several workers had complained of respiratory difficulties, dermatitis and altered taste. It was found that significant biochemical changes (increased levels of serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase) had occurred at levels of 0.8mg/m3 and persisted at 0.6mg/m3. The TLV should be lowered to 0.5mg/m3. |
