| Abstract |
Results of clinical examinations and laboratory tests covering 678 employees of a tyre cord factory who were exposed to various concentrations of CS2 (over 10mg/m3 in spinning rooms and in chemical departments; under 10mg/m3 in cord twisting and maintenance shops, etc.). Exposure to >10mg/m3 causes chronic poisoning with functional nervous disorders, disturbances of myocardial metabolism, increased sympathicoadrenal system activity, and lowering of erythrocyte lipoprotein levels. Where the CS2 level remains below 10mg/m3, cases of chronic CS2 poisoning are less frequent and the symptoms less pronounced. These observations emphasise the advisability of lowering the TLV recently adopted in the USSR. |
