A cohort of 1,687 captains and mates from different types of ships were followed for recording of disability pension from 1970 to 1986. 199 cases were found. At date of diagnosis each case was age-matched to 4 randomly selected seamen within the rest of the cohort at risk. A strong relationship between disability pension due to neuropsychiatric diagnoses and work on tankers was found, especially when restricted to work as a mate on the tankers. These mates experience the highest exposure to organic solvents within the investigated group. The findings indicate an occurrence of chronic nervous system disorders due to long-term exposure to organic solvents.
对1687名来自不同类型船舶的船长和大副进行了队列研究，从1970年至1986年记录残疾抚恤金情况。共发现199例。在诊断时，将每例病例与队列中其余处于风险中的4名随机选择的海员进行年龄匹配。发现神经精神疾病诊断导致的残疾抚恤金与油轮工作之间存在密切关系，特别是仅限于油轮上的大副工作时。这些大副在所研究的群体中接触有机溶剂的程度最高。研究结果表明，长期接触有机溶剂会导致慢性神经系统疾病的发生。
