| Abstract |
35 female viscose workers were subject to long-term observation by specialists. The hazard was estimated on the basis of time-weighted average exposure to atmospheric carbon disulfide during the shift, and urine iodazide testing was also carried out. The workplace atmospheric carbon disulfide concentration never exceeded the maximum allowable concentration of 50mg/m3. Special reference was paid to neurological symptoms. Comparison with non-exposed controls revealed no significant symptoms. Comparisons between 2 groups of female workers employed under different technical working conditions revealed no appreciable differences. The effect of carbon disulfide on women is no greater than it is on men. |
