Changed fatty acid composition in platelets from workers with long term exposure to organic solvents.
Sweden There are several indications that long term occupational exposure to organic solvents is harmful to health.'2 Organic solvents have haematotoxic effects and may cause stuctural changes in platelet membranes. On the other hand, symptoms such as depression, forgetfulness, headache, and nausea suggest a damage at the neuronal level in the central nervous system. Direct evidence for a lesio...
متن کاملNeuropsychological function in retired workers with previous long-term occupational exposure to solvents.
OBJECTIVES It is plausible that neurodegenerative processes of aging might have a contributing role in the development of chronic effects of exposure to organic solvents. This study evaluated the risk for neuropsychological deficits among retired workers, relative to their histories of exposure to occupational solvents. METHODS This cross sectional study evaluated retired male workers, 62-74 ...
متن کاملEstimation of long term exposure to mixed solvents from questionnaire data: a tool for epidemiological investigations.
Quantifying the exposure of construction painters to mixed organic solvents is difficult in the face of a lack of industrial hygiene data, the heterogeneity of the solvents used, and the variability in work practices which influences the amount of solvents to which a worker is actually exposed. This report describes an attempt to derive an estimate of airborne solvent exposure using questionnai...
متن کاملLong-Term Occupational Exposure to Organic Solvents Affects Color Vision, Contrast Sensitivity and Visual Fields
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the visual outcome of chronic occupational exposure to a mixture of organic solvents by measuring color discrimination, achromatic contrast sensitivity and visual fields in a group of gas station workers. We tested 25 workers (20 males) and 25 controls with no history of chronic exposure to solvents (10 males). All participants had normal ophthalmologic...
متن کاملHistomorphometrical changes of oviduct during the long-term exposure of breeder hens to extra thyroxine
In this research a 100 day long treatment period was considered to unmask the probable adverse effects of long-term induced hyperthyroidism on histomorphometrical attributes of the oviduct in broiler breeder hens. A total of seventy 47-week-old Cobb 500 breeder hens were randomly allotted to two treatment groups (5 replicates of 7 hens each). Thyroxine (T4) was orally administered to the hypert...
