A conference paper and discussion transcript (printed pages 647-652) by Dr. Hans Weill summarizing a five-year NIOSH-supported study of lung function in workers at a TDI (toluene diisocyanate) manufacturing plant in southwest Louisiana.

It ends with a question-and-answer discussion about isocyanates. unreviewed
