Personal monitoring of 8-hour time-weighted average intensity of exposure with diffuse samplers and analysis of shift-end urine for total trichloro-compounds (TTC) and other metabolites were conducted in two groups of workers in China, one (121 subjects) exposed to tetrachloroethylene (TETRA) alone, and the other (38 subjects) exposed to a mixture of TETRA and trichloroethylene (TRI). Urinalysis was also performed on samples from 103 non-exposed controls. A linear exposure-excretion relationship could be observed in both groups of workers. Comparison of these results with those of Japanese TETRA-workers suggested the presence of ethnic difference in TETRA metabolism. Urinary metabolite levels were markedly lower in the mixed (TETRA + TRI) exposure group as compared to previous findings in a group exposed to TRI alone. The observation indicates that metabolism of TRI is suppressed by the co-exposure to TETRA in humans.
