N-hexane exposure and worker illness
Employees at a Chinese Wintek operation involved in touchscreen production were reported to have been poisoned by n-hexane vapors. Reported outcomes included neurological damage and paralysis for some workers, while more than 100 people were reportedly treated at a Suzhou hospital. The controversy focused on chemical use, occupational-health protections, medical support, and workers’ access to compensation.
