Summary
Neurological and electrophysiological examination of 15 workers handling acrylamide in a factory revealed abnormal signs of peripheral nerve functions in all cases. Neurological abnormalities were: absent deep reflexes, decreased superficial sense and suppressed vibration sense. Action potentials in median nerve and tibial nerve were greatly reduced while conduction velocity was not greatly affected. Long-experienced workers had various complaints with ataxic gait and showed abnormal EEG.
