Sažetak

The validity of the iodine azide test as an exposure test for carbon disulphide was studied in various departments of the viscose rayon factory at Loznica. The results obtained showed that this is an excellent test of exposure to the CS2 concentrations above MAC values. During these investigations the authors observed the phenomenon of »recovery« and »non-recovery« in exposed workers and after studies of several years they concluded that the appearance on »non-recovery« represents an early sign of poisoning which precedes a few months the clinical symptoms of intoxication. This simple test was also applied in the department with a relatively highest hazard for the evaluation of the efficacy of respirators and the A type filters. The capacity of the filters was tested in relation to CS2 concentration, humidity and temperature. The method is simple, efficient and very cheap. The studies performed showed that the iodine azide test is usefully applicable in industrial hygiene, sanitation and early diagnosis of CS2 poisoning.
