One of the important occupational disease is the earbon disulfide poisoning in Korea. But there had been controversies about the diagnosis of CS₂poisoning in relation to Workers Compensation. We reviewd the CS₂poisoning cases occurred in one viscose rayon factory and the diagnostic methods of CS₂poisoning in Korea.
The major clinical apperance of the CS₂poisoning in Korean is CNS damage (34.3%-87.5%), PNS damage (34.2-100.0%), ophthlamoogicae abnormality (31.6-87.5%), and renal damage (23.7-50.0%). This aspect is similiar to those of Japan rather than those of Western European. Diagnostic method of CS₂poisoning in legal periodic examination has to be amended.
The future study will be evaluation of health effect and early diagnostic techniques about low concentration CS₂exposure.
