Biological monitoring of occupational exposure to toluene diisocyanate.
The study validated the use of urinary toluene diamine (TDA) in postshift samples as an indicator of preceding 8-h exposure to toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Nine workers exposed in TDI-based polyurethane foam production were studied. Their exposure levels varied in 8-h time-averaged samples from 9.5 to 94 micrograms/m3. The urinary TDA concentrations varied from 6.5 to 31.7 micrograms/g creatinin...

متن کاملChronic pulmonary function loss from exposure to toluene diisocyanate 1
In 1972 a total of 112 workers exposed to toluene diisocyanate (TDI) were examined for acute pulmonary function changes during a work shift on the first day of the working week. A dose-response relationship was demonstrated for the acute effects of TDI in this population. The cohort was restudied in 1974 to determine whether there was excessive loss of pulmonary function, and if so, whether the...
