Among 19 workers in a polyurethane foam production plant, visual disturbances ("foggy vision", "blue haze", and sometimes halo phenomena) were reported on a total of 47 occasions by five workers over 11 weeks. The symptoms were associated with triethylamine exposure. Time-weighted average levels of 12 to 13 mg/m3 were recorded at work operations associated with symptoms, and 4 to 5 mg/m3 at other tasks. Twice as high peak levels were recorded. A detailed medical examination of the five affected workers in a free interval did not reveal any signs of permanent eye disease.
在一家聚氨酯泡沫生产厂的19名工人中，11周内有5名工人共报告了47次视觉障碍（“视物模糊”、“蓝色 haze”，有时还有光晕现象）。这些症状与三乙胺暴露有关。在出现症状的工作操作中，时间加权平均水平记录为12至13毫克/立方米，而在其他任务中为4至5毫克/立方米。记录到的峰值水平高达两倍。在一个空闲时间段对5名受影响工人进行的详细医学检查未发现任何永久性眼病迹象。
