Abstract
Eight male subjects took part in four experimental sessions in an exposure chamber to assess the effects of toluene (80 p.p.m.) and alcohol (0.4 ml per kg body weight) individually and in combination on four measures of performance and also on mood. Alcohol caused a significant deterioration over the exposure session in performance on pursuit tracking and visual search tasks and also in mood. Toluene had no significant effect on any of the behavioural measures, but examination of mean scores for each treatment suggested a tendency for performance and mood to deteriorate more when alcohol and toluene were administered together than when alcohol was taken alone.
