| Resumen |
The exposure-excretion relationship and possible health effects of exposure to methanol vapour were studied in 33 exposed workers during the second half of two working weeks. There was a significant correlation between exposure to methanol vapour at concentrations of up to 5,500ppm and the levels of methanol measured in the shift-end urine samples. The calculation indicated that a mean level of 42mg methanol/L urine was excreted in the shift-end urine sample following 8h exposure to methanol at 200ppm (the current occupational exposure limit). Dimmed vision and nasal irritation were among the most frequent symptoms reported during the week. |
