Forty-five workers exposed to the solvents xylene and toluene in varnishing processes in a major heavy electrical industry were studied to find the effect of this exposure on different parameters of behaviour. These were immediate and delayed memory, visual ability, visual learning and psychomotor ability. The findings were compared with those from subjects who were not exposed. Immediate memory and delayed memory were affected among both directly and indirectly exposed workers as compared with those in the controls which remained unaffected. Visual intelligence and memory were most affected by exposure. Psychomotor ability was significantly affected among the directly exposed workers, as compared with the occasionally exposed group which did not show any significant difference from the control workers.
对一家大型重型电气行业中45名在涂漆过程中接触溶剂二甲苯和甲苯的工人进行了研究，以探究这种接触对不同行为参数的影响。这些参数包括即时记忆和延迟记忆、视觉能力、视觉学习和心理运动能力。将研究结果与未接触者的结果进行了比较。与未受影响的对照组相比，直接和间接接触的工人的即时记忆和延迟记忆均受到影响。视觉智力和记忆受接触影响最大。与偶尔接触组相比，直接接触的工人的心理运动能力受到显著影响，而偶尔接触组与对照工人之间没有显著差异。
