Abstract
Carbon disulfide is a well-known occupational hazard in viscose industry. This study was focused on assessment of the external and internal exposure to carbon disulfide of occupationally exposed workers with a view to make a comparative analysis of the results and determine the correlation ratio between amounts of carbon disulfide introduced in human organism and amounts that are kept there. These studies are a basis for further identification of methods to protect the workers against the hazardous effect of carbon disulfide as a chemical factor of the workplace.
