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. |
