متن کاملAuditory event related potentials (P300) in rubber factory workers--a preliminary study.
The production of rubber products involves a mixture of complex chemicals (about 500) grouped' into various functional categories (I). The workers are accordingly exposed to these chemicals besides noise exceeding 85 dB. The effect of this workplace environment on central nervous system particularly the sensory and cognitive functions has not been w-,<II documented. In this connection we conduc...
