The application of visual (VEP) and chemosensory evoked potentials (CSEP) in occupational and environmental health is briefly reviewed. VEPs have been used extensively in experimental neurotoxicity and play an increasingly important role in human neurotoxicity testing. The similarity of VEP waveforms in different species renders them useful for cross-species extrapolation. CSEPs, used in conjunction with traditional psychophysical tests and rating scales, offer a promising new approach to the study of indoor air pollution.
简要回顾了视觉诱发电位（VEP）和化学感觉诱发电位（CSEP）在职业与环境卫生中的应用。VEP已广泛应用于实验性神经毒性研究，并在人类神经毒性测试中发挥着越来越重要的作用。不同物种VEP波形的相似性使其在跨物种推断中很有用。CSEP与传统的心理物理学测试和评分量表结合使用，为室内空气污染研究提供了一种有前景的新方法。
