To determine whether exposure to low levels of styrene (below 110 mg/m3) causes acute behavioural effects and symptoms that may be related to concentrations of styrene in air or urinary mandelic acid or both, 12 men occupationally exposed to styrene were studied and compared with a reference group of 10 unexposed men. Simple reaction time was measured before and after work and information about symptoms was obtained by questionnaire. Active and passive sampling of airborne styrene was carried out and urinary mandelic acid concentrations were measured. Although the size of the study groups is small, the results indicate that exposure to styrene below 110 mg/m3 does not cause any acute adverse effects on the central nervous system.
为了确定接触低水平苯乙烯(低于110毫克/立方米)是否会导致急性行为影响以及可能与空气中苯乙烯浓度或尿中扁桃酸浓度或两者相关的症状,对12名职业性接触苯乙烯的男性进行了研究,并与10名未接触苯乙烯的男性参考组进行了比较。在工作前后测量简单反应时间,并通过问卷调查获取有关症状的信息。对空气中的苯乙烯进行主动和被动采样,并测量尿中扁桃酸浓度。尽管研究组规模较小,但结果表明,接触低于110毫克/立方米的苯乙烯不会对中枢神经系统造成任何急性不良反应。
