Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
In the workplace air of a russian MMP and acrolein production plant, air concentrations for MMP (0.1 - 6.0 mg/m3 air (0.023 - 1.38 ppm)), formaldehyde (0.05 - 8.1 mg/m3 air), acetaldehyde (0.48 - 22.0 mg/m3 air) and acrolein (0.1 - 8.2 mg/m3 air (0.043 - 3.5 ppm)) were measured. During the years 1971 - 1973 occurred an increase of diseases in dependency of the period of employment and in female workers the incidence was higher than in males. But the incidence of diseases was lower in comparison with the rate of disease of all workers at thus production area. The qualitative and quantitative contribution of MMP for the observed human diseasse can not be assessed from this paper, because a lot of other harmful compounds in the same concentration range were identified in the working area.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
