| Abstract |
Urinary catecholamines were measured in 69 air traffic controllers at work and rest. Under the observed conditions (in particular with allowance being made for coffee consumption), catecholamine elimination was significantly higher during air traffic control work than during rest. Catecholamine elimination was also compared with levels measured during other work and stress situations in earlier studies. |
