[Psychopathometrical results of follow-up studies of trichloroethylene-exposed persons (author's transl)]. 1977

G Triebig, and S Lehrl, and W Kinzel, and H Erzigkeit, and J V Galster, and K H Schaller

Seven clinical healthy volunteers were exposed to trichloroethylene concentration in air with 520 mg/m3 (100 ppm) at an average 6 hours a day on 5 consecutive days. Corresponding volunteers were exposed to a placebo for the same period. --The persons were examined psychopathometrically and biochemically at the beginning and after every day of exposure. The trichloroethylene-metabolites in blood and urine were dated in order to quantify the loads. --Purpose of the psychopathometrical testing methods was the observation, whether a psychological impairment in the sense of a "psychoorganic syndrome" may occur under these exposition-conditions. --Standardized achievement-tests and self-report rating scales were used in order to demonstrate reversible physical provable psychosis that may be possible. Comparing the psychopathometrical results of the exposed and non-exposed volunteers no statistical significant difference was visible in spite of the analytically proved considerable incorporation of the solvent.
