Título Self-reported symptoms and their effects on cognitive functioning in workers with past exposure to solvent-based glues: an 18-year follow-up
Información bibliográfica Oct. 2007, Vol.81, No.1, p.69-79. Illus. 40 ref.
Resumen The objective of this study was to examine to what extent exposure to organic solvents during the working life affects general well-being in the long term, and to explore the relationship between self-reported symptoms and cognitive functioning in previously solvent-exposed floor layers. The study included 41 solvent-exposed floor layers and 40 unexposed referents participating in a longitudinal follow-up study 18 years after the baseline assessment. Data were collected by means of general health examinations and self-administered questionnaires on symptoms, exposures and non-occupational activities. Findings confirm that prolonged high occupational exposure to solvents may negatively interact with the normal ageing process.
