METHOD: A questionnaire-based, non-random survey was undertaken amongst a group of current and ex-workers who had identified their health concerns as being related to PCP exposure. RESULTS: Low, medium and high exposure groups were identified. A significant dose-response was found between past exposure to Pentachlorophenol and reported symptoms of fever/sweating (47% in the high exposure group), weight loss (33% in the high exposure group), persisting fatigue (74% in the high exposure group), nausea (40% in the medium and high exposure groups) and responses to a screening test for neuropsychological dysfunction (Questionnaire 16) (81% in the high exposure group). No associations were observed with other chronic diseases, apart from emphysema and chronic bronchitis. CONCLUSIONS: This study is based on a self selected sample of PCP-exposed workers whose precise exposure levels are unclear. Thus the findings presented should be regarded as preliminary. Nevertheless, they support clinical experiences and point to the need for further investigation. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=2709 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Yeh CY, Wang JD. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Health effects of occupational pentachlorophenol exposure in timber sawmill employees: a preliminary study. ------>language=1 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=1991 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
