An environmental survey of a plant formulating oral contraceptives demonstrated considerable variation in possible synthetic estrogen exposure to the plant personnel. Clinical epidemiological studies showed evidence of increased absorption of estrogens in some employees at the plant. In view of the company's considerable efforts to suppress dust from work areas, new approaches to containment may be necessary with biologically active dusts--including the establishment of a dust standard.
对一家生产口服避孕药的工厂进行的环境调查表明，工厂员工接触合成雌激素的可能性存在很大差异。临床流行病学研究显示，该工厂一些员工体内雌激素吸收增加。鉴于公司为抑制工作区域扬尘付出了巨大努力，对于生物活性粉尘，可能需要采取新的控制方法——包括制定粉尘标准。
