title: Neurological manifestations in humans exposed to chlordecone: follow-up results.
abstract: Twenty-three workers chronically exposed to chlordecone developed overt neurologic manifestations. These included postural and intention tremor, gait difficulty and opsoclonus. Blood levels of chlordecone ranged from 2.0 to 33.0 ppm. The manifestations slowly cleared in all but one worker.
