Toxicology and hygiene assessment of production operations for synthetic fibers and products as a necessary aspect of occupational safety

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

This paper is devoted to a major area of concern and an approach for hygiene and toxicology studies allowing us to estimate the potential risk to workers from chemicals and to recommend protective measures aimed at preservation of health. We present tentative safe exposure levels in atmospheric air and maximum permissible concentrations in the workplace for a number of chemicals, obtained as a result of toxicology animal studies. We demonstrate the capabilities of a method for rapid assessment in vitro of the general acute toxicity on the AT-05 image analyzer.
