Occupational exposure to carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide during the manufacture of carbon black / K. Gardiner... [et al.]

Sumario: The manufacture of carbon black is known to generate carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide in the "production gas" and the pyrolysis products of the "production gas", respectively. Adverse health effects have been reported as associated with both contaminants (coronary heart disease with carbon monoxide and respiratory morbidity with sulphur dioxide). This paper measures these two gaseous contaminants to assess the potential confounding effect both on symptoms and on lung function, and if necessary to generate both current and retrospective exposure indices against which the symptoms and lung function tests could be
