Key Points

Toluene diisocyanate exposure poses significant health risks, leading to irritation and sensitization.
ACGIH standards guide the measurement of TDI concentrations in inhalable fractions and vapor forms.
This analysis includes measurements relevant to workplace safety in industries using polyurethane.
Understanding TDI exposure is crucial for preventing adverse respiratory and skin effects among workers.

Implication

Assessment of toluene diisocyanate exposure in polyurethane manufacturing environments, highlighting health risks.

Abstract

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is an irritant (skin, eye and respiratory) and a sensitizer. This compound is used to manufacture polyurethane materials such as flexible foams. The use of isocyanates may...
