Abstract
This review is a critical survey and evaluation of the recent literature relevant as medical background for a discussion of hygienic threshold values for hexane. Polyneuropathy and maculopathy, as well as subclinical effects, e.g., functional disturbances (conduction velocity of the motor and sensory nerves), are included.
