Abstract
Eight workers occupationally exposed to acetone and eight nonexposed c ontrols were investigated on nine shift days both during work and leis ure. The mean exposure to acetone was near 1000 ppm (2400 mg/m(3)). Ac etone in urine was moderately correlated to acetone in the air. Rating s on scales of well-being and acute symptoms (SPES) correlated signifi cantly with concentrations of acetone in urine but not with concentrat ions of acetone in the air.
