Occupational neurological disorders in Korea Kim EA; Kang SKJ Korean Med Sci 2010[Dec]; 25 (Suppl): S26-35The purpose of this article was to provide a literature review of occupational neurological disorders and related research in Korea, focusing on chemical hazards. We reviewed occupational neurological disorders investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute of Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency between 1992 and 2009, categorizing them as neurological disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) or as neurodegenerative disorders. We also examined peer-reviewed journal articles related to neurotoxicology, published from 1984 to 2009. Outbreaks of occupational neurological disorder of the CNS due to inorganic mercury and carbon disulfide poisoning had helped prompt the development of the occupational safety and health system of Korea. Other major neurological disorders of the CNS included methyl bromide intoxication and chronic toxic encephalopathy. Most of the PNS disorders were n-hexane-induced peripheral neuritis, reported from the electronics industry. Reports of manganese-induced Parkinsonism resulted in the introduction of neuroimaging techniques to occupational medicine. Since the late 1990s, the direction of research has been moving toward degenerative disorder and early effect of neurotoxicity. To understand the early effects of neurotoxic chemicals in the preclinical stage, more follow-up studies of a longer duration are necessary.|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Central Nervous System Diseases/chemically induced/epidemiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Nervous System Diseases/chemically induced/*epidemiology/etiology[MESH]|Neurodegenerative Diseases/chemically induced/epidemiology[MESH]|Neurotoxicity Syndromes/*epidemiology/*etiology[MESH]|Occupational Diseases/chemically induced/*epidemiology/etiology[MESH]|Parkinsonian Disorders/chemically induced/epidemiology[MESH]|Peripheral Nervous System Diseases/chemically induced/epidemiology[MESH]|Republic of Korea[MESH] |
