    Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TRI) can cause nerve impairment, fatigue, and headaches. Alcohol intake may worsen liver damage and skin reactions in TRI-exposed workers.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Toxicology
    • Environmental Medicine

    Background:

    • Trichloroethylene (TRI) is a common industrial solvent.
    • Occupational exposure to TRI poses potential health risks.
    • Understanding TRI's health effects is crucial for worker safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the health effects of occupational trichloroethylene (TRI) exposure.
    • To identify symptoms associated with TRI exposure.
    • To explore potential interactions between TRI exposure and personal factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 188 workers with occupational TRI exposure.
    • Assessed physical health, atmospheric TRI levels, and urinary trichloroacetic acid (CA).
    • Evaluated personal factors: age, alcohol, and tobacco consumption.

    Main Results:

    • TRI exposure is linked to trigeminal/optic nerve impairment, asthenia, headache, and dizziness.
    • Statistical analysis identified symptom classes associated with high vs. low TRI exposure.
    • A potential interaction between TRI exposure and alcohol on liver impairment and degreaser flush was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific neurological and general symptoms are associated with occupational TRI exposure.
    • Alcohol consumption may exacerbate TRI-induced liver damage and skin reactions.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the interaction between TRI and alcohol.
