Abstract

A study on electroneuromyography of 175 workers exposed to carbon disulfide demonstrated that electroneuromyographic abnormalities of these workers were in accordance with characteristic alteration of axonal polyneuropathy. Electroneuromyography was an objective and sensitive method to detect the early damage of peripheral nerve caused by low-level exposure to carbon disulfide. The dose-response relationship between the exposure to carbon disulfide and the damage of peripheral nerve was demonstrated.
