Carbon disulphide poisoning in viscose rayon factories.
The manufacture of rayon by the viscose process exposes workers to the hazards of carbon disulphide (CS2) poisoning. When the viscose industry was started the toxicity of carbon disulphide was scarcely known among manufacturers, and the processes used were primitive; this resulted in many cases of CS2 poisoning in all those countries where viscose plants had been established. Since then, techni...

[Cohort study of the hypertensive effects of carbon disulfide in viscose rayon workers].
Records of blood pressure and body weight of CS2 workers were analyzed in relation to the levels of CS2 exposure at a Japanese rayon-producing fac tory. A cohort of 46 CS2 workers who had later been transferred to non-CS2 jobs showed first a statistically significant rise, which was then followed by two consecutive episodes of statistically significant falls in systolic blood pressure. These ep...
