Abstract The neurobehavioral effects of Hexogen were investigated in 60 exposed workers (with a control group consisting of 32 people) using a neurobehavioral test battery consisting of memory retention, simple reaction time, choice reaction time, letter cancellation and block design. The physical examination results exhibited no significant differences (P > 0.05). Memory quotient and block design scores of the exposed group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.01). The total behavioral test score was in good linear correlation with the symptom score and exposure index (R = 0.5232, P < 0.01), suggesting that long-term low-level exposure (X = 0.407 ± 0.382 mg/m3) to Hexogen affects the behavioral functions of exposed individuals.
