| Abstract |
The incidence of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes was twice as high in 6 workers from a plant manufacturing polyester resin boats as in matched controls. In addition to styrene, the workers were exposed to phthalic acid anhydride, maleic acid anhydride, propylene glycol, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, a cobalt salt, and acetone. Styrene levels of the workroom air were 50-400mg/m3. |
