- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the air levels of N-nitrosamines in the rubber industry in Sweden and its effect on health and immunologic markers. It estimates the risk of sub-acute symptoms of N-nitrosamines in the eyes, airways and nausea and its impact on the level of immunologic markers. Results show that workers in rubber industry are exposed to high air levels of N-nitrosamines and no clear relation between exposure to N-nitrosamines and non-malignant symptoms is found.
