| Abstract |
Medical examinations of 556 female workers exposed to low concentrations of the organic solvents chlorobenzene and tricresol (cresylic acid) in an enamelled electric wire factory showed a high incidence of vegetative vascular dysfunction syndrome (34.1%). Its incidence increased with length of exposure and concentration of solvent. Chlorobenzene and cresylic acid should be considered as risk factors which provoke the development of vegetovascular disfunction syndrome in those who work in contact with them. |
