Özet

1 To evaluate the effects of occupational long-term coexposure to n-hexane, toluen, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) on NK cell activity and serum IL-2, gamma-IFN levels, we studied a group of workers employed in a shoe factory where the jobs include use of glues and adhesives containing mainly n-hexane, and at low concentrations, toluen and MEK.
