    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pollution in viscose plants is significant, sometimes matching carbon disulfide (CS2) levels in workshops. This study accurately describes workplace pollution using advanced sampling methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Industrial hygiene
    • Environmental science
    • Occupational health

    Background:

    • Viscose production involves chemicals like carbon disulfide (CS2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).
    • Workplace exposure to these chemicals can pose health risks to employees.
    • Assessing pollution levels is crucial for ensuring a safe working environment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate carbon disulfide (CS2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pollution levels in two viscose plants.
    • To compare H2S and CS2 pollution concentrations in different workshops.
    • To validate a methodology for accurate workplace pollution assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted air sampling in a sponge factory and a rayon spinning mill.
    • Utilized a laboratory van with Gas Phase Chromatograph and Air Sampler for background monitoring.

  • Employed personal sampling for direct workplace exposure assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) pollution was found to be significant in viscose plants.
    • In some areas, such as the spinning room, H2S levels were comparable to CS2 levels.
    • The study demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in characterizing pollution.

    Conclusions:

    • H2S is a notable pollutant in viscose manufacturing environments.
    • Workplace monitoring must account for both CS2 and H2S exposure.
    • The employed sampling and analysis techniques provide a reliable method for assessing industrial pollution.
