Abstract
Aromatic solvents are widely used in industry and are recognized as possessing slight to moderate toxicity during acute, local and systemic, exposures. In prolonged industrial exposures the question of systemic intoxication from absorption of the vapour of benzene and solvents containing benzene demands evaluation in terms of occupational hygiene, susceptibility of the individual workman and the mechanisms of injury. Further research into the absorption and metabolism of aromatic solvents will help elucidate questions of occupational exposures and specific diseases in workmen.
