Supreme Court dismisses claim for occupational solvent poisoning compensation due to lack of causal link between work and illness.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claimant's request for compensation based on occupational solvent poisoning. The claimant, an automatic machine operator, suffered from brain changes consistent with solvent exposure or heavy alcohol use, but the court found no definitive causal link to workplace exposure. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the evidence failed to prove the illness was work-related rather than due to personal habits or other factors.
