Abstract

Axonal neuropathy occurs due to occupational ethylene oxide (EtO) exposure. The experimental model of human EtO neuropathy was established. In addition, the neurotoxic effects of propylene oxide (PpO) and butylene oxide (BtO) were demonstrated in rats. Although no human neuropathy due to PpO or BtO is reported, both chemicals must be considered to be neurotoxic, based on this study.
