• Many suspicions, but only a small amount of scientific data demonstrate a
correlation between “environmental diseases”, e. g., sick building syndrome and
solvent exposure.
• It has been hypothesized that - as a rule - exposure to mixtures of solvents at low
non-toxic doses of the individual constituent represents no danger to health. 63
• There exists overwhelming evidence of adverse health effects caused by accepted
environmental noxes such as tobacco smoke and the consumption of alcoholic
beverages.
