Neurotoxic volatile organic solvents used by house and car painters may lead to professional toxic encephalopathy after several years of exposure. The symptoms are memory impairment, fatigue, personality changes, headache and dizziness. Vestibular dysfunction was found in 55% of 113 painters examined, mainly in the form of reduced caloric vestibular reactions. No correlation between vestibular dysfunction and the duration of exposure, cerebral atrophy or intellectual impairment could be demonstrated. Vestibular examination may be helpful in detecting early changes in exposed persons and in determining more accurate safety limits for harmful chemicals.
房屋和汽车油漆工使用的具有神经毒性的挥发性有机溶剂，在接触数年之后可能会导致职业性中毒性脑病。症状包括记忆力减退、疲劳、性格改变、头痛和头晕。在接受检查的113名油漆工中，55%的人存在前庭功能障碍，主要表现为前庭冷热反应降低。未发现前庭功能障碍与接触时长、脑萎缩或智力损害之间存在关联。前庭检查可能有助于检测接触者的早期变化，并确定更准确的有害化学物质安全限值。
