Dermal exposure to styrene in the fibreglass reinforced plastics industry.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the potential dermal exposure to styrene in the fibreglass reinforced plastics industry. METHODS Assessment was performed during spraying and rolling using a patch sampling technique. The patch was made of charcoal sandwiched between two layers of cotton fabric. Samplers were fastened at 12 different spots on a sampling overall, each spot represe...
متن کاملMethods to control styrene exposure in the reinforced plastics industry
Currently, about 75% of Finnish reinforced polyester lamination workers are exposed to styrene concentrations exceeding the current occupational exposure limit of 20 ppm. Several measures have been proposed to control styrene exposure, but only a few of them are capable of keeping the styrene concentration below 20 ppm. The present study was carried out to evaluate current ventilation systems i...
متن کاملExposure to styrene and chronic health effects: mortality and incidence of solid cancers in the Danish reinforced plastics industry.
OBJECTIVES To study the occurrence of non-malignant diseases and solid cancers in workers exposed to styrene in the Danish reinforced plastics industry. METHODS All 36,610 workers of 386 reinforced plastics companies and 14,293 workers not exposed to styrene from similar industries were followed up from 1970 to 1990. This industry is characterised by simple exposure conditions, exposure to hi...
متن کاملKinetics of styrene in workers from a plastics industry after controlled exposure: a comparison with subjects not previously exposed.
Eight male workers from a glass reinforced plastics industry were experimentally exposed for 2 hours to 2.84 mmol/m3 (296 mg/m3) styrene during light physical exercise (50 W). About 63% of the amount supplied (4.6 mmol styrene) was taken up in the body. The arterial blood concentration of styrene reached a relatively stable level of 15 mumol/l at the end of exposure which was about 70% of the b...
متن کاملTrends in Occupational Exposure to Styrene in the European Glass Fibre-Reinforced Plastics Industry
AIM This study presents temporal trends of styrene exposure for workers in the European glass fibre-reinforced plastics (GRP) industry during the period 1966-2002. METHODS Data of personal styrene exposure measurements were retrieved from reports, databases and peer-reviewed papers. Only sources with descriptive statistics of personal measurements were accepted. The styrene exposure data cove...
