carbon disulfide/obesity

OBJECTIVE Mass carbon disulfide (CS(2)) poisoning was reported at a viscose rayon factory in Korea. We evaluated the association between CS(2) poisoning and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. METHODS The cases (n = 170) involved CS(2)-poisoned subjects, who participated in a health examination

The occurrences of retinopathy (microaneurysms/small dot hemorrhages) and the coded resting and postexercise ECG findings suggestive of coronary heart disease (CHD) were studied among 420 Japanese male workers exposed to carbon disulfide and 390 men not exposed to such a solvent. Retinopathy was

The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between exposure to carbon disulfide, as measured by personal air sampling, and the excretion of 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA) in urine. The subjects of investigation were 29 workers involved in the production of viscose rayon

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to review clinical characteristics and working environments of sudden cardiac death (SCD) cases associated with a tire manufacturer in Korea, and review possible occupational risk factors for cardiovascular disease including nanoparticles (ultrafine particles,

The effects were studied on cardiovascular risk factors of occupational exposure to carbon disulfide (CS2) concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 1.60 mg/m3, 74 workers exposed (E) to CS2 and 79 non-exposed (NE) workers were examined. Information was obtained on age, working age and life habits
