Phenol concentrations in the air from disinfection solutions.
Phenol concentrations in the air near phenol disinfectant solutions were measured. The concentration of phenol was not excessive, except for hot solutions with which exposure would normally be for a very short time. Adverse physiological reactions may occur at air levels below the threshold limit values which may be especially hazardous to those persons exposed to organisms causing respiratory diseases.
