[Health conditions of workers exposed to CS-2 in xanthate plants].

Abstract:

:26 men, aged 22-57, with various length of employment in xanthate plant, where they have been exposed to CS2, were subjected to laboratory examinations aiming to find out the effects of this substance on their health state. These studies had been produced by measurements of CS2 concentration in the air of work-posts, lasting for 7 months. This allowed to evaluate the exposure of the subjects and to compare the concentrations with the MAC, actually valid. The obtained results, both in the subjects blood and urine, did not unequivocally indicate any noxious effects of CS2, despite the fact that MAC in the air of working rooms was twice surpassed.
