Neuroendocrine effects in printing workers exposed to
The effect of exposure to toluene on plasma concentrations of testosterone, prolactin, luteinising (LH) and follicle stimulating (FSH) hormones was investigated in 47 rotogravure printers (time weighted average air toluene below 80 ppm; blood toluene concentration post-shift 0-19-7-99 umol/l) and compared with a reference group. Increasing exposure concentrations of toluene (concentrations <5 t...

متن کاملMenstrual function in workers exposed to toluene.
Rates of menstrual disorders were studied in 231 female production workers with high exposure to toluene (mean 88 (range 50-150 ppm) in a factory manufacturing audio speakers and compared with a control group of 58 female production workers in other departments in the same factory who had little or no exposure to toluene (0-25 ppm). An external community control group of 187 working class women...
متن کاملHearing Loss in Workers Exposed to Toluene and Noise
In this study we investigated the risk of hearing loss among workers exposed to both toluene and noise. We recruited 58 workers at an adhesive materials manufacturing plant who were exposured to both toluene and noise [78.6-87.1 A-weighted decibels; dB(A)], 58 workers exposed to noise only [83.5-90.1 dB(A)], and 58 administrative clerks [67.9-72.6 dB(A)] at the same company. We interviewed part...
متن کامل[Somatosensory evoked potentials in workers exposed to toluene].
The aim of our study was to evaluated by means of SEPs possible subclinical impairment of the nervous system during long-lasting toluene exposure. A group of 36 rotogravure printers (men, mean age 39.3 +/- 11.6 years) exposed to toluene from a polygraphic plant in Prague was investigated. The severity of toluene exposure was documented by the measurements of toluene concentration in the breathi...
