Title Studies on exposure to dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) in agricultural chemists
Original title Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Exposition gegenüber Dinitro-o-kresol (DNOC) bei Agrochemikern [in German]
Bibliographic information May 1978, Vol.24, No.5, p.340-343. Illus. 20 ref.
Abstract These studies were undertaken in 1975 and 1976 on pesticide exposure resulting from the manufacture and application of the spray solution. Aspects considered were exposure of workers to pesticides in general, the relative amount of DNOC exposure over the year, determination of workplace concentrations where mobile application methods are used, and blood level determinations. A case of poisoning is described. Measures to reduce the health hazard associated with exposure are set out.
