| Abstract |
Monitoring of breath carbon monoxide concentration and breathing zone air samples showed that traffic control personnel, working on the street, experienced greater carbon monoxide exposure than workers in downtown offices. The greatest source of carbon monoxide to the sample population was cigarette smoking, followed by occupational exposure, and finally, the ambient levels. Data were collected on breathing zone air samples during 8h shifts; carbon monoxide breath samples before and after a shift; and ambient carbon monoxide levels from Sep. 1978 to Jan. 1979. Personal dosimeter readings and COHb levels were closely associated in exposed individuals. |
