Abstract |
So far the iodine-azide urine monitoring test is the only carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure test recognized by the World Health Organization. However, one of the drawbacks of this test is that it cannot be used for low exposure levels corresponding to the TLV proposed by NIOSH for CS2. The discovery of the urinary CS2 metabolite 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA) opens new prospects for the evaluation of CS2 exposure, because this metabolite can be detected in the urine of workers exposed to very low atmospheric concentrations of CS2. |
