O n-hexano é um químico industrial relativamente comum e empregado em diversos produtos e processos industriais. A compreensão de aspectos toxicológicos é um importante fator para o manejo da higiene industrial, a fim de evitar o risco de contaminação com o solvente. Este trabalho é uma revisão de pesquisas e escritos que caracterizam os aspectos toxicocinéticos, toxicodinâmicos e a higiene industrial relacionada ao hexano. Ademais, busca descrever os efeitos do solvente sobre o comportamento de animais, e os métodos utilizados para essas avaliações. Estudos de toxicologia comportamental com animais evidenciam os prejuízos motores e neurocomportamentais advindos da contaminação crônica ou aguda pelo hexano, e no que tange ao cenário aplicado, ações de prevenção devem ser tomadas.
