| Abstract | HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Groups of adult male volunteers were exposed to alcohol, CO or trichloroethylene; performance in mental loading tests and effects on physiological parameters were studied. Using alcohol as reference substance, producing marked effects at blood alcohol levels greater than 0.3 g/1, the effects from CO and of trichloroethylene in dosages as encountered in social and occupational life proved to be much less severe, at most borderline. The experimental results only apply to the specific conditions of the study: healthy male adults of 20-30 yr, no vigilance tasks, no long-term exposure. The experiments suggest the possibility of hazardous impairment of performance in older subjects, particularly in case of combined exposure to various external loads. |
