متن کاملRetrospective assessment of solvent exposure in paint manufacturing.
This paper describes how exposure to solvents at two large paint making sites was assessed in a study carried out to investigate the possibility of neuropsychological effects resulting from long term exposure to organic solvents. A job exposure matrix was constructed by buildings and year. A detailed plant history was taken and this was used to identify uniform exposure periods during which wor...
