In the present work, morbidity rates were based upon 418 replies to postal inquiries sent to 478 members of the carpenters/cabinet makers trade union in the Arhus area of Denmark. Lacquerers, when compared with former lacquerers and non-lacquerers, have an excess of neurophysiological symptoms and symptoms from the respiratory tract. The statistical association between exposure to lacquers and lung symptoms persists after checking for differences in age, smoking habits, and exposure to dust. Organic solvents are an important component of lacquers. Far too little is yet known of solvents' long-term effects on the human body. Most of our present knowledge concerns the short-term toxic effects on the nervous system. This study further points out a relation between lung symptoms and exposure to organic solvents, and it is suggested that further research into this association must be carried out.
在本研究中，发病率基于向丹麦奥胡斯地区木匠/橱柜制造商工会的478名成员发送的邮政询问所收到的418份回复。与以前的漆工和非漆工相比，漆工有过多的神经生理症状和呼吸道症状。在检查了年龄、吸烟习惯和粉尘接触差异之后，接触漆与肺部症状之间的统计关联仍然存在。有机溶剂是漆的重要成分。我们对溶剂对人体的长期影响了解得还太少。我们目前的大部分知识涉及对神经系统的短期毒性作用。本研究进一步指出了肺部症状与接触有机溶剂之间的关系，并建议必须对这种关联进行进一步研究。
