| Resumen |
Methods and results of examinations of 18 workers with a mean activity of 12 years in processing pentachlorophenol (PCP). The PCP levels in plasma ranged between 0.02 and 1.5ng/l (median 0.25ng/l) and in urine between 13 and 1.224µg/l (median 112γ/l) or between 11 and 2.111µg/l creatinine (median 111µg/g). The median values of the neurophysiological parameters showed a slight slowing trend, The decrease in sensory nerve conduction velocities was significant. A dose-effect relation between internal PCP load and nerve conduction velocities could not be demonstrated. The individual evaluation of the toxicological and neurophysiological results suggested that in some cases decreased nerve conduction velocity is caused by chronic exposure to PCP. |
