✦ Synopsis

n-Hexane neuropathy has been described after glue sniffing and industrial exposure. Onset may be subacute and reminiscent of Guillain-Barre ´syndrome. Although the primary pathology is axonal, electrophysiologic evaluation is frequently most remarkable for conduction slowing. We describe a patient with a severe subacute neuropathy following nhexane exposure via glue sniffing. Although symptoms worsened after termination of exposure (''coasting''), strength gradually improved to near normal. Sources of toxic exposure should be sought in all patients with subacute demyelinating neuropathies.

The absorption of CO in aqueous NaOH--n-hexane dispersions has been investigated in an agitated reactor over a temperature range of 353-433 K. The rate of absorption was found to be significantly enhanced in the presence of organic droplets and an emulsifier. Also, the addition of a phase-transfer c
