Title Behavioral methods and organic solvents: Questions and consequences
Bibliographic information Apr. 1996, Vol.104, Suppl. No.2, p.361-366. 56 ref.
Abstract This paper reviews some illustrative examples of studies of human neurobehavioural effects from experimental as well as long-term occupational organic-solvent exposure. Some of the methodological problems such as representativity of study groups, quantification of exposure and test methods encountered in these studies are discussed, as well as some reasons for the relative success of the work performed by certain Scandinavian research teams.
