Ototoxicity of industrial chemicals alone or in combination with noise

Utility 

There is accumulating epidemiological evidence that exposure to some solvents, metals, asphyxiants and other substances in humans is associated with an increased risk of hearing loss. This project was undertaken to develop a toxicological database allowing the identification of possible ototoxic substances present in the work environment. Critical toxicological data were compiled for chemical substances included in the Quebec Occupational Health Regulation.
