A cross sectional study was carried out to compare 110 paintmakers exposed to solvents with 110 age matched controls for outcome measures designed to assess cognitive performance and mental health. Hygiene data available for the paintmakers allowed the development of individual indices of solvent exposure and the analyses of health effects in relation to both duration and intensity of exposure. No effects on cognitive functioning or mental health were found in the paintmakers. For most of their period of employment the exposure of the paintmakers had been below current occupational exposure limits. The results are therefore interpreted as providing support for the view that long term exposure at or below current compliance levels does not result in damage to the central nervous system.
开展了一项横断面研究，将110名接触溶剂的油漆工与110名年龄匹配的对照组人员进行比较，以评估旨在衡量认知表现和心理健康的各项指标。油漆工的卫生数据有助于制定个体溶剂接触指数，并分析与接触持续时间和强度相关的健康影响。未发现油漆工的认知功能或心理健康受到影响。在其就业的大部分时间里，油漆工的接触水平一直低于当前职业接触限值。因此，这些结果被解释为支持以下观点：在当前合规水平或以下的长期接触不会导致中枢神经系统受损。
