| Abstract |
Among the numerous recognised health hazards involved in the production of semiconductors, exposures to skin and respiratory irritants to central nervous system depressants (solvents), to known or suspected carcinogens, mutagens and teratogens and to arsenic from gallium arsenide dust constitute the major problems. The apparent lack of adequate occupational safety and health programmes in the industry is discussed. |
