Men employed in the area reported problems with impotence. The study population consisted of 44 men aged 20\u201357 years (mean age 37) employed in the area at the time of the evaluation. An industrial hygiene investigation, health and work history questionnaire survey, physical examinations, and blood chemistry and serum hormone evaluation were conducted. Fourteen percent of the men reported symptoms of impotence over the preceding 6 or more months, 7% had potency problems of shorter duration, and 7% were not currently impotent but had experienced impotence for 6 or more months in the past; 36% experienced decreased libido, all since beginning work in the production area. Low levels of serum testosterone (&lt;350 ng\/dl) were observed in 37% of the men. The low serum testosterone concentrations were not accounted for fully by diurnal variation or an effect of rotating shift work. It is suggested that exposures to chemicals possessing estrogenic activity may be related to the observed health effects in these workers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700180107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,25]],"date-time":"2013-10-25T13:38:04Z","timestamp":1382708284000},"page":"55-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Investigation of reports of sexual dysfunction among male chemical workers manufacturing stilbene derivatives"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Margaret M.","family":"Quinn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David H.","family":"Wegman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ian A.","family":"Greaves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.
