Choice reaction time in workers using trichloroethylene.
Eight-choice reaction time studies were carried out on women using trichloroethylene (TCE) as an industrial solvent, and simultaneous tests were performed on control subjects. The women exposed to TCE showed an increase in choice reaction time compared with the control subjects. This divergent trend was substantial at a factory where TCE levels exceeded the recommended threshold limit value (TLV). The divergence was less pronounced, but still clearly evident at another factory where TLV was not exceeded.
