Isocyanate Sampling and Analysis
| The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below. |
I read with considerable interest Creely et al. (2006) on assessing isocyanate exposure. The reason I was so interested is that the title and synopsis led me to believe that there might be some answers for the confusing status of isocyanates monitoring in the workplace and the difficulties of interpretation of the approved air monitoring method MDHS 25/3 (HSE, 1999). Isocyanates feature quite a lot in occupational hygiene practice, and in particular, in my work as an expert witness involved in the investigation of alleged occupational asthma cases, the contents of such technical papers could prove to be very important in litigation. Unfortunately, I find that the paper only serves to increase my confusion and does not assist me in forming expert opinions,
