| Abstract |
Urinary excretion of CS2 was measured in 46 workers employed in a spinning mill for regenerated fibres, during 3 consecutive shifts. The results were compared with those obtained with personal dosemeters. Urinary excretion and blood parameters were determined from samples taken at the end of the shifts. A significant relation was established between exposure and urinary CS2 excretion, taking into consideration the values measured at the commencement of the shift. Determination of lipid and protein levels may be useful for early diagnosis. |
