| Resumen |
One year after mild chloracne developed in workers involved in the production of the herbicide Diuron, and its precursor 3,4-dichloraniline (DCA), abnormalities were found in the results of serial liver function tests and lipid profiles in some of the same workers. No significant abnormalities of liver function in the DCA-Diuron workers were found in an examination of the entire work force. A statistically significant increase in the mean triglyceride values was found and this was greater in those who had had chloracne. Mean cholesterol levels were also higher. The lipid values returned to normal as a result of a combined programme of improved occupational hygiene and personal health care. |
