Abstract Main issues dealt with at the XXIIIrd National Congress of Occupational Medicine (Besançon, France), 7-10 June, 1994 include: neurotoxicity of low doses of solvents (S): research on exposure to low levels of S in the construction industry; value of charts in the study of neurotoxic effects of S; assessment of exposure to S and their neurological effects in a paint factory; dyschromatopsies and exposure to S; effects on colour vision of exposure to organic S in the paint industry; implementing practical measures after determining that a group exposed to S is at risk; research into people whose central nervous system has been prematurely affected by S; assessment of exposure to S: comparison of expert's report and results of atmospheric and biological tests; psycho-organic solvent syndrome; the psychosyndrome of S and research into sleep apnoea; sleep apnoea syndrome and exposure to S; multiple chemical sensitivity: a study of 30 cases; the value of a battery of psychometric tests used in occupational psychology for detecting the neuro-behavioural toxic effects of organic S; recurrent neurological attacks with an abnormal excretion of trichloracetic acid (TCA) in the urine. Report on one case; occupational exposure to low levels of S and neurophysical effects: a cross-sectional study.
