非特异性主诉，如疲劳、部分失忆、食欲不振等，据室内油漆工报告，可能是职业暴露于溶剂的影响。一组产业工人具有相应的年龄分布的一些参数和心理测试结果进行了比较工会附属的油漆工的随机样本。事实证明，这些群体在相关背景变量方面是平等的。一个简单的健康检查没有发现，任何相关的主观投诉，除了血红蛋白浓度略低的房子油漆工。然而，画家组在测量智力和心理协调能力的心理测试中的平均得分明显低于对照组。
产业工人。画家组在记忆测试和反应时间测试中的表现也明显低于预期。从心理测试中得出的变化指标的判别分析，进行了，并得到了0.35的判别函数和群体亲和力定义的二分暴露变量之间的点二分相关。此外，一项基于临床患者的研究，即，另一组数据表明该判别函数具有合理的诊断有效性。虽然在油漆工组内没有发现暴露（“油漆工年”）和功能变化指标之间的相关性，但结果表明工作环境对健康的影响。
Nonspecific complaints such as fatigue, partial amnesia, loss of appetite, etc., have been reported by house painters and could be effects of occupational exposure to solvents. A random sample of union-affiliated house painters was compared for a number of parameters and psychological test results with a group of industrial workers having a corresponding age distribution. The groups proved to be on par in relevant background variables. A simple health cheok did not reveal ,any correlates to the subjective complaints, except for a somewhat lower hemoglobin concentration among the house painters. However, the painter group had significantly lower mean scores on psychological tests measuring intellectual capacity and psychomotor coordination than the reference group of
industrial workers. The painter group also had significantly lower performances than expected on the memory test and the reaction time test. A discriminant analysis of indicators of change as derived from psychological tests, was carried out, and a point biserial correlation of 0.35 was obtained between the discriminant function and the dichotomous exposure variable defined by group affinity. Furthermore a study based on clinical patients, i.e., another body of data, indicated reasonable diagnostic validity for this discriminant function. Although no correlations were found within the painter group between exposure ("painter years") and the indicators of function change, rthe results indicate an effect of the work environment on health.
