The occupational work-risk by PCE was evaluated in a group of 143 workers in 47 laundries, where perchloroethylene (PCE) was the only solvent used. Airborne measurements of PCE showed mean concentration values below the TLV-TWA, and a number of instant concentration values superior to TLV-STEL. Trichloracetic acid (TCA) values in the urine of exposed workers was superior to the limit established by our institute (29% of workers).

Abstract
The occupational work-risk by PCE was evaluated in a group of 143 workers in 47 laundries, where perchloroethylene (PCE) was the only solvent used. Airborne measurements of PCE showed mean concentration values below the TLV-TWA, and a number of instant concentration values superior to TLV-STEL. Trichloracetic acid (TCA) values in the urine of exposed workers was superior to the limit established by our institute (29% of workers).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
