Abstract

Concentration of carbon disulphide and percentage of retention were determined in inhaled and exhaled air of five workers occupationally highly exposed to carbon disulphide in a factory of viscose products. At the end of the first hour of exposure average retention expressed in percents was 41,2, and at the end of four hours it was 48,4. As the difference is not statistically significant it can be concluded that in the course of the first hour of exposure an equilibrium is reached which practically does not change until the end of the shift. The workers examined have been occupationally exposed to relatively high concentrations of carbon disulphide from 1-7 years.
