A cross-sectional epidemiological investigation of the health status of 261 people from 85 private households previously treated with chlordane for termite control was conducted to assess potential human health effects. When sinusitis, bronchitis, and migraine responses were compared to measured indoor air levels of chlordane in categories designated as low (less than 1 microgram/m3), medium (1-5 micrograms/m3), and high (greater than 5 micrograms/m3), a dose-response relationship was found after controlling individually and simultaneously for age, sex, and smoking. Homes studied in this investigation having a proper chlordane application were observed to have chlordane air levels exceeding acceptable exposure limits.
对85户曾使用氯丹进行白蚁防治的私人家庭中的261人进行了健康状况横断面流行病学调查，以评估对人类健康的潜在影响。将鼻窦炎、支气管炎和偏头痛的反应与室内空气中氯丹的测量水平进行比较，分为低（低于1微克/立方米）、中（1 - 5微克/立方米）和高（高于5微克/立方米）三类，在分别和同时控制年龄、性别和吸烟因素后，发现了剂量反应关系。在本次调查中，观察到使用氯丹方法得当的家庭中，氯丹空气水平超过了可接受的接触限值。
