Lens changes in car painters exposed to a mixture of organic solvents
Abstract:
The relationship between exposure to organic solvents and the prevalence of lens changes was studied in a group of 92 car painters and a comparison group of 92 engineers from the Finnish State Railways. Both groups were examined ophthalmologically. Among the 92 car painters, with a mean age of 34.9 years (range of 21--64 years; S.D. 10.4 years), two had been operated on for a cataract and 46 had lens changes, mainly nuclear sclerosis, clefts, lamellar separation, or cortical and subcortical opacities not affecting visual acuity. In 69 age-matched pairs, for whom the factors inducing false-positive results had been excluded, 2 car painters had more lens changes than their age-matched pairs. Lens changes occurred with increased frequency after 10 years of exposure.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
