The purpose of this article is the assessment of occupational exposure to @entity3321 ( @entity11240 ) and its clinical repercussions for dry-cleaning employees. The authors measured atmospheric levels of @entity11240 and blood levels in a population of 50 exposed employees then conducted a study of clinical symptomatology in exposed and non-exposed subjects linked with this solvent. Fifty employees and 95 controls were studied. The median value of atmospheric @entity11240 was 7 ppm (0.22-33), and the median blood level of @entity11240 was 73.6  g/l (11.8-144). These levels were correlated statistically to the action of sludge scraping and to the existence of automatic scrapers (p < 0.01). Eight percent of @entity11240 blood levels were higher than the biological levels recently set in France. The exposed population did not show excessive signs of @entity4784 or other symptoms studied. Dry-cleaning employees were exposed to @entity11240 at atmospheric levels lower than the French and American chronic recommended exposure levels but some results were higher than recommended values. For @entity11240 blood levels for the general working population, results were respectively lower than French and American national recommended levels in 92% and 94% cases. Risk should be considered, however, carefully in @entity1 of childbearing age, as 64% exceeded the recommended blood levels for pregnant @entity1 . This exposure did not generate any studied neurobehavioral symptomatology.
