| Abstract |
This note takes stock of publications and observations carried out in France and elsewhere on polyneuritis due to the use of certain glues. It mentions the results of a study undertaken by the French National Research and Safety Institute (INRS) on the composition of 116 glues used in the shoe industry and summarises the conclusions of the symposium on this subject held in Barcelona in 1974. It concludes that in the present state of knowledge aliphatic hydrocarbons appear to be responsible for the neurological lesions observed, but that pure hexane is doubtless not the only agent incriminated. |
