Assessment of occupational benzene exposure in petrol filling stations at Rangoon / Roma Hein... [et al.]

Sumario: An occupational health survey was conducted on workers, who inhale petrol fumes which contain low concentrations of benzene, at petrol filling stations in the city of Rangoon, Burma.

The survey revealed that the urinary phenol content of workers exposed to petrol fumes was significantly higher than that of workers who were not exposed
