Trichloroethylene is used as a solvent and metal degreaser. It is potentially carcinogenic and produces mutagenic effects. The aim of this study was to determine personal exposure in a textile firm. Samplings and analyses were performed by means of active carbon absorption and gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection, respectively. Although findings revealed low exposure to trichloroethylene, it would be advisable to replace this substance in the work cycle.
