| Summary: | A cross-sectional study was done to evaluate the association Analytical Method 47 for Methylerie Diphenyl Diisocyanate. audit of the company's work practices and safety program. below the exposure limits established for MDI. Measurements between methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) exposure and between respiratory problems and work history only. Analysis by personal air samples. Samples were collected by drawing a by the spray application of polyurethane foam were measured corrects leaking and humidity problems by means of exposure limit as a ceiling value. Personal interviews showed filter, contained in an open-face cassette, using OSHA health symptoms of the employees served as the basis of an known volume of air through an impregnated glass fiber met both the 8-hr time weight average and permissible no association between exposure to low levels of MDI and of the cassette filters showed that all the samples were opportunity to improve occupational hygiene by providing the permissible exposure limits for MDI. Both the monitoring and polyurethane roof insulation. Concentrations of MDI produced questionnaire initially designed to evaluate the association respiratory symptoms. Their results reflected the respiratory system deterioration among permanent male The collected concentration samples were compared to the The health symptoms were assessed using a health their work clothes. workers with personal protective equipment and standardizing workers.
