| Abstract |
The concentration of methyl methacrylate in air was monitored during its production and its processing by block polymerisation. The concentration was highest during pre-polymerisation and during the filling of glass vessels with the pre-polymer (150-300mg/m3). During other processes the concentration ranged between 30 and 80mg/m3. Air was sampled by stationary and personal samplers. In a group of 49 workers exposed to methyl methacrylate the concentration of thioethers in urine was determined by spectrophotometry. There was no significant difference between this group and controls in the elimination of thioethers. There was a difference between smokers and non-smokers in the exposed as well as control group. |
