| Abstract |
Serum zinc and proteins were studied in 82 workers in the Egyptian rayon industry, of whom 40 were at the time exposed to carbon disulfide and 9 had been exposed in the past for a year or more; 33 workers without exposure were used as controls. CS2 caused depletion of serum zinc by an increase in the rate of zinc excretion and an increase in all serum protein fractions. All these effects are temporary and improve on cessation of exposure. |
