| Abstract |
51 workers at a rayon yarn mill exposed to concentrations of CS2 below the TLV of 30mg/m3 had a significantly reduced level of 4-pyridoxic acid in the morning urine. No further reduction occurred during the shift. The decrease was more marked in men than women. It is suggested that pyridoxine deficiency induced by chronic CS2 exposure contributes to polyneuropathy in the clinical picture of poisoning and may have other metabolic effects. |
