| Abstract |
The widely used iodo-azide test (IAT) for measuring exposure to carbon disulfide is compared with gas chromatographic determination (1) with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and (2) with flame photometric detector (GC-FPD). The GC methods were consistent with each other but not with the IAT. The results obtained with these 3 methods in 23 exposed and 6 non-exposed workers are compared. The GC methods have both better sensitivity and specificity than IAT. For qualitative purposes the 2 GC methods are better suited than the IAT when exposure is below the TLV. The GC-FPD method especially gives a better relation with exposure and is more sensitive than the IAT. |
