Carbon disulfide was the first solvent studied and had adverse effects observed by Delpech in 1863. Neuropsychiatric abnormalities were described 13 years later by Eulenberg in workers in the rubber and viscose rayon industries. A Finnish psychologist, Helen Hanninen tested 100 carbon disulfide exposed workers in 1970,50 were poisoned, 50 exposed and compared them to 50 unexposed.She found intelligence, tasks of attention, motor skill vigilance and memory were impaired in clinically poisoned and exposed men compared to unexposed. Digit symbol substitution from the Wechsler s scale showed the most effect of exposure. Additional studies of spray painters in the 1970 s and compared to computer augmented tomography (CT) scans of the brain and function tests. Symptomatic painters after 20 years or more of exposure had brain atrophy associated with impairment."" ...
