Abstract |
As a result of a systematic occupational health survey on the workers exposed to phosphamidon, together with the literature review, a 'maximum allowable concentration' (MAC) for phosphamidon in workplace air is suggested: 0.02mg/m3, on the condition that the route of skin entry be blocked effectively. The standard-setting process in China is compared to the current UK approach. |
