“…AP tests, such as the random gap detection test [17], have been suggested for inclusion into a comprehensive audiological test battery to be used for assessment of solvent-induced hearing loss [18].

“…Other electrophysiological measures such as P300 (a long latency auditory evoked potential) have also been utilised in solvent-exposed subjects. Vrca et al (1997) found, in a group of workers exposed to low concentrations of toluene, prolonged latencies and lower amplitudes in the P300 response in comparison to a control group. Also, Moen et al (1999) examined the P300 component in a group of workers exposed to low levels of organic solvents in a paint factory and in a control group of non-exposed workers.…”

“…According to ACGIH , 2001, in humans, up to 75% of inhaled toluene is metabolized to hippuric acid (HA) and excreted in urine. Measuring hippuric acid in urine as internal dose of toluene exposure was studied (Kawai et al,1996;Vrca et al, 1997;Fustinoni et al, 2009). In the current study there is statistically significant increase in hippuric acid in urine among exposed workers than their control (P = 0.000).…”

Background Exposure to volatile organic solvents as toluene, in the workplace, is associated with deleterious effects involved in postural regulation. Objectives: The aim of this study is to detect the disturbances of the vestibular system due to exposure to toluene using dynamic posturography, putting a hypothesis to use dynamic posturography as a possible tool to identify the effects on balance among workers exposed to toluene. Subjects and methods: the study was performed on 30 workers exposed to toluene and 30 workers non exposed (control). History, dynamic posturography (the central integration of the vestibular, visual, and somatosensory inflow is evaluated using sensoriorganization test (SOT)) and hippuric acid measurement in urine were performed to both groups. Results: hippuric acid levels in urine were statistically significant higher among exposed workers when compared to the control. Dynamic posturography results were statistically significant lower in the exposed group in conditions SOT 3 (p=0.015), SOT 4 (p=0.014), SOT 5, (p=0.001) SOT 6 (p= 0.000) and CS (P =0.000) when compared to control group. A statistically significant negative correlation between urinary hippuric acid and dynamic posturography. There were significant negative correlation between duration of exposure to toluene and dynamic posturography. Conclusion: Exposure to toluene affects vestibular system so dynamic posturography is useful in balance assessment in workers exposed to toluene.
