RESUMO

Hernberg, S., Partanen, T., Nordman, C-H., and Sumari, P. (1970).Brit. J. indust. Med.,27, 313-325. Coronary heart disease among workers exposed to carbon disulphide. Coronary morbidity and some coronary risk factors were studied among workers in a viscose rayon plant. All men with at least five years' exposure to carbon disulphide during any period between 1942 and 1967 were included. In all, 410 men complied with these criteria. Of them, 45 had died and no information was obtained for nine. Three hundred and forty three men attended the examination which included, among other things, electrocardiography after a standardized exercise test, measurement of blood pressure, and a chest radiograph.
