Menstrual function in workers exposed to toluene / Tze Pin Ng, Swee Cheng Foo, Theresa Yoong
Sumario: Occupational exposure to toluene is widespread as it is commonly used as a solvent in the manufacture and industrial applications of paints, thinners, adhesives, inks, and pharmaceutical products. Few studies have investigated the effects of toluene specifically on the gonads and hormones in occupationally exposed women but some have reported menstrual disorders in workers expose to toluene. For instance, prolonged and heavy bleeding was more frequent in women exposed to benzene, toluene, and xylene. The present study was undertaken to assess the menstrual function of female workers exposed to a single solvent - toluene. Effects on pregnancies among married women were also studied and are reported elsewhere in this journal
