ABSTRACT

The authors examined 100 carbon disulphide (CS2) exposed male workers who had been employed ten years prior to study were selected for the study. They were virtually obliged to participate in the study by the Medical Labor Inspector and all of them participated voluntary. The aim was to assess the effects of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide concentrations below the threshold limit value (31 mg/m3) on the reproductive functions with special emphasis on miscarriages. Specially, workers history records were build up on number of children, miscarriages and general weakness, mental fatigue etc. It was found that the incidences of number of miscarriages against number of living children correlated well with environmental concentration of CS2. Where the average CS2 levels were 1.695 ppm, the incidences of miscarriages was 5.71% (group 1). Where as in group 2 environmental concentrations were 12.28 ppm and the incidences of miscarriages were 18.91%. It was also found that in the spinning department the exposure exceeds many times the Threshold Limit Values (TL V).

ABSTRACT

Se describe una metodología sencilla y económica para el estudio experimental y perfeccionamiento de dosímetros pasivos de análisis ambiental de gases y vapores. Se utiliza en ella un prototipo de dosímetros con sorbente líquido y membrana interfásica permeable a los gases, así como una cámara de exposición dinámica para la calibración, fácil de construir en cualquier laboratorio con recursos de uso común. La metodología permite determinar con precisión la característica fundamental de la geometría del futuro dosímetro la superficie activa de la membrana en función de los requerimientos básicos que se establezcan previamente para los métodos de control de la contaminación química del aire. la ejemplificación metodológica y su validación experimental se realizan mediante el estudio de in sistema particular para el análisis de disulfuro de carbono, donde se demuestra estadísticamente el cumplimiento de la ley de la difusión molecular y la posibilidad real de confeccionar un dosímetro sencillo que cumpla los requerimientos técnicos postulados en la norma cubana NC 19-0103
