substance

Details on results:

NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 1,121,046 workers (222,613 of these were female) were potentially exposed to carbon dioxide in the US(1). The NOES Survey does not include farm workers. Occupational exposure to carbon dioxide may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where carbon dioxide is produced or used. Carbon dioxide is ubiquitous in the environment(2) and, therefore, the general population may be exposed to carbon dioxide via inhalation of ambient air, ingestion of food and drinking water, and dermal contact with carbon dioxide(SRC).
