Título Changes in serum hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) residues in malaria spraymen after short-term occupational exposure
Información bibliográfica Jan.-Feb. 1982, Vol.37, No.1, p.41-44. Illus. 15 ref.
Resumen The serum hexachloroxcyclohexane (HCH) concentrations were determined in 248 male spraymen between 19 and 49 years of age before and after 16 weeks exposure to HCH during field spraying. 32 of the subjects were working as spraymen for the first time. The remainder had differing exposure histories over 1-4 previous seasons. A significant increase in original serum HCH concentration was observed in subjects on their first occupational exposure compared to those with previous exposure. All workers reached approximately the same serum levels after 16 weeks regardless of their previous history.
