At two scientific conferences in 1985, one in Copenhagen sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the World Health Organization (WHO), the other in Raleigh, NC, it was concluded that chronic toxic encephalopathy may develop following long-term occupational exposure to organic solvents (1,2). The terms organic affective syndrome, mild and severe chronic toxic encephalopathy were suggested for this condition describing increasing severity. In May 1990, a conference on organic solvents and the nervous system was held in Copenhagen sponsored by the Commission of the European Communities and the Danish Ministry of the Environment (3). Scientists and representatives from the governments, industries, and labour organisations from the EEC and US participated.
1985年，在两场科学会议上得出结论，长期职业性接触有机溶剂可能会引发慢性中毒性脑病。其中一场会议在哥本哈根举行，由北欧部长理事会和世界卫生组织（WHO）主办；另一场在北卡罗来纳州的罗利举行。针对这种病情严重程度不断增加的情况，有人提出了有机情感综合征、轻度和重度慢性中毒性脑病等术语。1990年5月，由欧洲共同体委员会和丹麦环境部主办的一场关于有机溶剂与神经系统的会议在哥本哈根召开。欧洲经济共同体和美国的科学家以及来自政府、行业和劳工组织的代表参加了会议。
