Abstract |
The production of tyre-cord fibres gives rise to carbon disulfide (CS2) concentrations which are particularly high in the spinning departments. A number of CS2-exposed workers displayed symptoms of vegetative-vascular dysfunction or an asthenovegetative syndrome. During the first years of exposure, the activities of the erythrocyte and serum cholinesterases and of the blood ceruloplasmin were enhanced, whereas after 11 to 15 years of exposure these activities were reduced. |
