Abstract

Phenol concentrations in the air near phenol disinfectant solutions were measured. The concentration of phenol was not excessive, except for hot solutions with which exposure would normally be for a very short time. Adverse physiological reactions may occur at air levels below the threshold limit values which may be especially hazardous to those persons exposed to organisms causing respiratory diseases.
