title: [Carbon disulfide exposure level of workers in a chemical fiber industry].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the exposure levels of carbon disulfide (CS(2)) for a chemical fiber industry.
  
  
  METHODS
  The concentration of CS(2) was monitored in representative workshops and types of work, and the datas of that over the years were collected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The short-term exposure concentration of CS(2) about 80% of the type of work was less than or equal to 10 mg/m(3), which of more than 90% was less than or equal to 20 mg/m(3). The time weighted average concentration of CS(2) about 70% of the type of work was less than or equal to 5 mg/m(3), which of more than 90% was less than or equal to 10 mg/m(3). The short-term exposure concentration of CS(2) which was more than 15 mg/m(3) or the time weighted average concentration of CS(2) which was more than 30 mg/m(3) was only for little type of work.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The concentration of CS(2) for the most type of work was lower, but there were still a number of types of work exposuring the higher concentration, which exceed the national occupational exposure limits.
