Ocular irritation from product of pesticide degradation among workers in a seed warehouse.

Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, Juntendo University Faculty of Medicine, Japan.
Four workers at a seed supply warehouse in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, complained of ocular irritation on the job. Pesticide-coated seeds were stored in the warehouse but no significant amount of pesticide was detected in the air inside the warehouse. To identify the cause of the ocular irritation and to determine an appropriate solution to the problem, the authors used thermal desorption gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the profiles of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air of the two warehouses at the site-warehouse A, where the four workers experienced ocular irritation, and warehouse B, where no workers experienced ocular irritation.

Material And Methods: A population-based case-control study was conducted in 10 French administrative areas (départements).
