| Abstract |
This study was aimed at clarifying the effect of exposure to N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) on workers' health. Fifteen male NMP-exposed workers and 15 referent male workers were recruited for this study. Exposure concentrations were assessed by determining NMP in the breathing zones and urinary NMP. Clinical examinations, motor nerve conduction velocities in the dominant arm and neurobehavioral tests were carried out. Subjects were also asked to complete self-administered questionnaires for subjective symptoms and psychological assessment. There were neither dose-dependent changes nor any differences between NMP-exposed and referent workers in terms of clinical data, motor nerve conduction, neurobehavioral responses and subjective symptoms. |
