| Abstract |
A spray painter suffered recurrent attacks of chills, fever, general malaise, dispnoea, headache, arthralgia and leukocytosis, a few hours after exposure to aerosols of varnishes containing polymers of hexamethylene and tolylene diisocyanate. Immunologic tests revealed an increase in serum immunoglobulin G level. Polyisocyanate levels in the workroom ranged from 1.5 to 7.4mg/m3 (5.4-30.0µmol NCO/m3). |
