Supports ECG R-R variability deployment in occupational field studies; leaves open its role in clinical cardiovascular assessment.
Evoked potentials (short-latency somatosensory, visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials), event-related potential (P300), electrocardiographic R-R interval variability, peripheral nerve conduction velocity, distribution of nerve conduction velocities, postural balance, neurobehavioral test batteries, and questionnaires and psychiatric interview methods appear to be promising techniques for assessment of subclinical neuro-psychobehavioral effects in occupational, environmental and community health. In this paper, an overview of recent methodology and findings is provided. The available data indicate that these techniques are valid, reliable and standardized, and are easily applied in field studies.
