> doctors had already submitted. The psychologist I am referring to wrote

> Brain Injury from Toluene Inhalation at Job Site

> Part of my job with the State of California was to perform daily

> laboratory sampling of crude oil from an offshore platform. Pure toluene

> was used in the sampling process, and the make-shift " lab " where I ran

> the tests was not adequately ventilated. There was an uncovered sink

> (with no overhead exhaust fan) that always contained a mixture of

> solvent, crude oil, and toluene. Toluene was also present in an overhead

> container with a spigot, and in a 55 gallon drum outside the " lab. " In

> 1989, my employer stopped using toluene and built a properly ventilated

> lab. I was under the impression that toluene was a carcinogen. I didn't

> find out until years later that the chemical was actually a neurotoxin.

> By the time I learned this, I had long since been terminated from my job

> for exhibiting the exact symptoms that long-term exposure to toluene is

> terminated, I attributed my mental impairments to job stress. A couple

> That is when I learned that toluene is a neurotoxin. I'm still in a
