  • Title: [Usefulness of passive dosimeters of carbon disulfide made in the East Germany for evaluating individual occupational exposure to this compound].
    Author: Rogaczewska T, Gromiec J, Woźniczka M.
    Journal: Med Pr; 1987; 38(6):460-5. PubMed ID: 3451020.
    Abstract:
    To evaluate the usefulness of passive reactive dosimeters for the determination of individual exposure to carbon disulphide, field studies in viscose plants in Poland and East Germany have been carried out. Totally, 43 workers have been examined, using active charcoal pipes joined with personal samplers as a reference air sampling method. The results of measurements point to a statistically significant difference between passive dosimeters findings and exposure evaluation by the reference method. The 1.5-2.2 times lower results indicate too little usefulness of passive dosimeters made in East Germany as a quantitative method of evaluating occupational exposure to carbon disulphide in Polish viscose plants.
