| Resumen |
Tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) concentrations in the workplace air of a plant producing polyurethane foam were measured. The serum IgE of 39 workers, and leucograms and pulmonary function tests in 20 workers showed: TDI workplace air concentrations were 0.017-0.021ppm, which was lower than the TLV. Serum IgE was significantly higher in TDI workers than in controls. Some of the workers with less than 1 year exposure to TDI showed significantly high serum IgE values. All these TDI-exposed workers with high serum IgE levels had symptoms of eosinophilia and obstructive ventilatory impairment. Summary and wording of all tables (serum IgE levels, leukograms, pulmonary function tests by flow-volume curve) in English. |
