โฆ Synopsis
The relationship between exposure to acrylamide monomer and neurological outcomes was investigated in 82 chemical industry workers. Vibrotactile thresholds were determined quantitatively with a Vibratron I1 device, using forced choice and method of limits procedures. Symptoms of numbness, limb pain, peeling skin, and sweating hands had significantly higher prevalences in the exposed than in the unexposed group. Signs of peeling skin and sweating hands were significantly more common in the exposed group. Vibration thresholds were not associated with exposure.
