Determination of Iodine Value Using Alternative Solvent to Carbon Tetrachloride

Poisoning due to use of carbon tetrachloride.

A Study of Carbon Tetrachloride. Vi. Aminoaciduria in Response to Carbon Tetrachloride Inhalation.

A number of studies including those of Cornish and Block (1960) have measured the marked increase in serum enzyme levels following acute exposure to CC4 vapor. If it is assumed that these enzymes are being released from damaged tissue, one would anticipate that smaller molecular weight compounds, such as amino acids, would also be released. Increased urinary excretion of free amino acids or alt...

Carbon Tetrachloride in Helminthiasis
