Follow-up study into the toxic effects of carbon disulphide in the working environment

Persons :

• Prof. dr.  VANHOORNE Michel - Universiteit Gent (UGent)
  Financed belgian partner
  Duration: 1/4/1995-31/3/1998
  

Description :

Theme.

Continuation of multidisciplinary research into the toxic effects of carbon disulphide at a Belgian viscose manufacturer.

Objectives:

- To evaluate the prognostic value of a number of (often discrete) changes to the health parameters of workers exposed to CS2.
To ascertain whether these changes are progressive in character.
- To verify whether reduced exposure to CS2 results in improved health.
- To establish the relationship between the biological monitoring data and the health parameters.
- To verify the effectiveness of the implemented technical changes on exposure and health parameters.
