| Abstract |
Three neurobehavioural tests and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire (parts of the WHO neurobehavioural core test battery) were administered to 106 workers engaged in the manufacture of automotive parts; 61 were chronically exposed to organic solvents, 45 were not. The exposed workers had lower scores than their unexposed peers in perceptual-motor performance tests, but not in a memory test. There was a positive correlation between the "fatigue" score on the POMS test and perceptual-motor performance. No correlation was found between urinary hippuric acid levels and test scores. |
