This study delves into the potential occupational health risks faced by printing workers due to toluene exposure, specifically focusing on its impact on central nervous disorders. Toluene, a common solvent in the printing industry, has been associated with adverse health effects, and its neurotoxic properties raise concerns about central nervous system implications. Through a comprehensive investigation, combining workplace assessments, exposure monitoring, and health evaluations, we aim to assess the correlation between toluene exposure levels and the risk of central nervous disorders among printing workers. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of occupational hazards in the printing industry and inform preventive measures to safeguard the health and well-being of workers.
