Abstract |
Case reports are presented concerning 3 women who developed polyneuropathy while exposed to concentrations of methyl ethyl ketone and acetone or toluene at levels well below the threshold limit values. It is suggested that there is a cumulative effect and that TLVs for all organic solvents should be reexamined with respect to inhalation and absorption from the skin. |
