Abstract Blood samples were studied in 53 exposed workers and 44 controls, and semen samples in a subgroup of 6 exposed and 9 controls. No gross abnormalities or clinical differences were noted in haematological or fertility indices (with the possible exception of testicular size). White blood cells and haemoglobin may be decreased at higher exposure levels.
