Carbon disulfide is a clear, colorless or faintly yellow, mobile liquid at room temperature but it is highly volatile and highly flammable. It is produced artificially but it is also released into the environment from a wide variety of natural sources like soil bacteria and plants. Most of carbon disulfide produced artificially is used in the production of viscose fibre and cellophane film, but it is also used in other chemical and tire production. In this book every aspect of risk assessment for carbon disulfide including exposure effects on humans and the environment is described concisely
