Control banding assessment of exposure of offset printing workers to organic solvents
OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the exposure of offset printing workers to hazardous substances in the rinsing processes of small-sized companies using a control banding method. METHODS We obtained half-year amounts of hazardous substances purchased through a questionnaire survey and the hazardous information from the safety data sheets (SDSs) and related literature. RESULTS The amount of pet...
متن کاملEffect of Exposure to a Mixture of Organic Solvents on Hearing Thresholds in Petrochemical Industry Workers
Introduction: Hearing loss is one of the most common occupational diseases. In most workplaces, workers are exposed to noise and solvents simultaneously, so the potential risk of hearing loss due to solvents may be attributed to noise. In this study we aimed to assess the effect of exposure to mixed aromatic solvents on hearing in the absence of exposure to hazardous noise. Materials and Met...
متن کاملAssessment of neurobehavioral disorders in workers exposed to organic solvents in a publication house
Background: Organic solvents are known as a group of organic compounds, widely used in industry and to which many workers are exposed. Neurotoxicity is one of the most important complications of the chronic exposure to the solvents and may causes neurobehavioral disorders in workers. We have studied the frequency of neurobehavioral disorders in workers exposed to organic solvents in one o...

متن کاملAssessment of Acquired Color Vision Impairment among the Workers Exposed to Mixed Organic Solvents in an Automobile Manufacturing Company
Background and Objectives: Solvents are widely used in industries. Occupational exposure to organic solvents can lead to dysfunction of the nervous system. Since color-vision impairment can be a sensitive and early marker of neurotoxic damage, this study was designed to determine the influence of chronic occupational exposure to organic solvent mixtures on color vision. Materials and Methods: ...
