[Use of the exposure test and the gas concentration measurements in the breathing zones for the evaluation of the workers' exposure to carbon disulfide].

Abstract:

:Individual exposures to CS2 of 31 workers in a viscose rayon plant were examined by personal continuous air sampling and two versions of iodo-azide test (chronometric and titrimetric methods). The obtained results indicate that during occupational exposure there is no practical correlation between 8-hours time-weight average concentrations of CS2 in workers' breathing zones and the levels of CS2--metabolites in urine.
