Título original Felduntersuchung von Personen mit langjähriger Exposition gegenüber Kalkstickstoff [en alemán]
Información bibliográfica 1981, No.173, p.13-28. 31 ref.
Resumen The literature on the effects of exposure to calcium cyanamide (CaCN2) in farmers and production workers was reviewed. 65 workers exposed to CaCN2 at levels in the range 0.23-8.36mg/m3 were examined and no evidence of damage to the skin, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys or nervous and circulatory systems was found. When alcohol was taken 1-7 hours after the workshift, a moderate flush reaction occurred in 6 workers and a weak reaction in 7. An elevation of the MAC value from 1.0 to ≥2.5mg/m3 is proposed.
