The Application of a new carbon disulfide exposure test in occupational health

Summary The commonly-used iodo-azide test (IAT) for exposure to carbon disulphide is compared with two new gaschromatographic (GLC) methods.The GLC methods are consistent with each other, but not consistent with the IAT.The urine values of 23 exposed and 6 non-exposed workers were compared with the results of the IAT and the two GLC methods.The conclusion was that GLC methods are better suited for measuring in urine at low exposure for qualitative purposes.
