These several years eight workers, six women engaged in vinyl shoe making and two men in printing factories died due to benzene poisoning in Osaka. Under these circumstances there has been tendency to use other solvents as substitutes for benzene. By such means the blood pictures of the workers have generally been found improved. On the other hand, cases of poisoning caused by other solvents, for instance carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene, methyl acetate, methylethylketone, cresol and tetrahydrofurane, have been reported recently in many kinds of industries. Special features as to the use of organi^c solvents in recent times are as follows. 1) increase of the amount of consumption in industries. 2) spread of industries which use such solvents 3) tendency to use substitutes for benzene 4) increase of the use of mixed solvents In such circumstances we must pay attention to the next points for the health supervision of men handing organic solvents. 1) obscurity of separate components in many mixed solvens 2) variety of the toxic action of solvents 3) difficulty in diagnosis of psycho-neurological symptoms due to solvent poisoning Therefore, the following measures should be taken to overcome these difficulties. 1) recognition of the components of solvents; obligation of labeling, execution of analysis 2) recognition of the degree of exposure; determination of the atmospheric concentration, determination of the toxic substances and its metabolites in the blood, urine etc. 3) periodical medical examination; (examination of objective psycho-neurological symptoms is very important and for this purpose electrophysiological studies should greatly be promoted.)
