Abstract	Industrial hygiene surveys were conducted at the American Enka Co., in Lowland, TN., on March 6-14, 1979. The purpose of the survey was to determine workers exposure to carbon disulfide as part of NIOSH's cross-sectional medical and industrial hygiene study to determine the health effects of an occupational exposure of at least one working year to a documented CS2 level approximating the current OSHA exposure limit of 20 ppm. The American Enka Co. located in Lowland, TN. was selected because it had detailed historical environmental sampling data on CS2 which documented a work environment less than the 20 ppm standard for CS2. The purpose of this industrial hygiene report is to document the work performed by NIOSH in developing an exposure profile which was used to support the medical study.
