Abstract:
:This paper deals with the assumption that young adults with self-reported multiple chemical sensitivity (sMCS) show a heightened sensitivity of autonomic functions during experimental solvent exposure. Male sMCS-subjects were selected (out of n=274) on the base of a German questionnaire on chemical and environmental sensitivity (CGES). Two independent experiments were carried out, each with 12 sMCS-subjects and 12 age-matched control-subjects. In experiment I two concentrations of the solvents ethyl benzene (10 and 98 ppm) and 2-butanone (10 and 189 ppm) were used. Experiment II investigated 2-propanol (35 and 190 ppm) and 1-octanol (0.1 and 6.4 ppm). The low concentrations correspond nearly to the olfactory thresholds while the high concentrations correspond to the German occupational threshold limit values (MAC). The exposure duration under each condition was 4h. The sequence of the four exposure conditions was random including intervals of at least 2 days without exposure. During the exposure physiological changes of breathing rate and heart rate were recorded. Two 30 min intervals with a sedentary position of the subjects at the beginning and end of exposure were chosen for analyses. Neither in experiment I nor in experiment II significant specific reactions to the type or level of the exposures were found. The autonomic functions in both experiments revealed alterations within the exposure sessions. The heart rate in experiment II and the breathing rate in both experiments decreased significantly during the analyzed 30 min intervals. Furthermore, in both experiments the heart rates decreased significantly from beginning to end of exposure. Only in experiment I the mean breathing rate of sMCS-subjects was generally higher compared to the control-subjects. Regarding the assumption of a heightened sensitivity of sMCS-subjects the two experiments yielded controversial results. Thus, the hypothesis of stronger responses of autonomic functions of sMCS-subjects provoked by various exposure scenarios remains open.
