| Abstract |
These studies carried out by the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) revealed: (1) discrete changes in alveolar permeability in workers exposed to diisocyanate concentrations close to the currently permissible TLV (0.02ppm); and (2) clinical signs and functional changes in subjects exposed to concentrations which in some cases were 100 times higher than the TLV. |
