Behaviour of rats exposed to trichloroethylene

Silverman, A. P. and Williams, H. (1975). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 32, 308-315. Behaviour of rats exposed to trichloroethylene vapour. Rats were exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE) vapour for about five five-day weeks at concentrations from 100 to 1 000 ppm, and at 100 ppm for 121 weeks. The social behaviour of paired male rats was observed periodically in the home cage for five m...

Effect of phenobarbitone and starvation on hepatotoxicity in rats exposed to carbon disulphide vapour.

Magos, L., and Butler, W. H. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med., 29,95-98. Effect of phenobarbitone and starvation on hepatotoxicity in rats exposed to carbon disulphide vapour. Male albino rats given 80 and 50 mg/kg phenobarbitone sodium by intraperitoneal injection 24 and 18 hours before 4-hour exposure to 2-0 mg/l carbon disulphide (CS2) developed hydropic degeneration in the centrilobular zone ...

Identification of trichloroethylene and its metabolites in human seminal fluid of workers exposed to trichloroethylene.

We have investigated the potential of the male reproductive tract to accumulate trichloroethylene (TCE) and its metabolites, including chloral, trichloroethanol (TCOH), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Human seminal fluid and urine samples from eight mechanics diagnosed with clinical infertility and exposed to TCE occupationally were analyzed. In in vivo experimental s...

Evaluation of the psychophysiological functions in humans exposed to trichloroethylene.

Renal function in miners intermittently exposed to elemental mercury vapour.

The authors investigated renal damage in 45 mercury miners under conditions of relatively short and low-level exposure to elemental (metallic) mercury vapour (Hg0). The analysis included urinary mercury, immunoelectrophoresis of urinary proteins, immunofixation and high-resolution electrophoresis, quantitative analysis of urinary albumin, and urinary alpha 1-microglobulin before and after expos...
