 | | The majority of the available epidemiological studies are of workers in the viscose rayon industry, in which workers are exposed to airborne carbon disulfide, along with lesser quantities of hydrogen sulfide, at several stages during the process of manufacturing viscose rayon fibres. |
 | | In a historical cohort study of 3322 Dutch male viscose rayon workers, mortality from circulatory diseases was significantly increased among the 1434 workers exposed to carbon disulfide compared with the general population (Swaen et al. |
 | | Among workers from the bleaching and spinning departments, who had continuous exposure to carbon disulfide, there was a significant excess of mortality from cardiovascular diseases (103 deaths, SMR 126, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.54) and a non-significant excess from ischemic heart disease (65 deaths, SMR 125, 95% CI 0.96-1.62). |
