| Abstract |
Carbon disulfide (CS2) exposure was evaluated in a viscose fibre plant. Environmental exposure was measured by static area sampling and by personal monitoring, while biological indicators of exposure were determined in urine. Environmental exposure as determined by personal samplers (TWA) was twice as high than when measured by static area sampling: 62.2mg/m3 compared to 31.1mg/m3 in the spinning rooms, and 18.3mg/m3 compared to 12.2mg/m3 in the viscose manufacturing departments. Determination of biological exposure indicators showed some correlation with environmental exposure results, particularly for urinary TTCA levels. Using a linear regression equation, a biological limit value for TTCA, corresponding to the Yugoslav MAC of 30mg/m3 for CS2, was calculated (9.89mg/g creatinine) for the study population, which is higher than in other investigations. This is probably due to different air and urine sampling methodologies. |
