Abstract:
The published literature was reviewed and then a quantitative hydrocarbon solvent exposure database was compiled. The data was then analyzed to determine trends in documented worker exposures to hydrocarbon solvents. It was found that an all too common limitation of the published literature was the incomplete reporting of results by the authors.
