Two-hour methyl isocyanate inhalation and 90-day recovery study in B6C3F1 mice.
B6C3F1 mice were exposed by inhalation to 0, 3, 10, and 30 ppm methyl isocyanate for 2 hr followed by a 90-day recovery period. Sixteen of eighty (20%) male mice in the 30 ppm group died following exposure. There were no other unscheduled deaths in the mice. Five mice/sex/group were examined at 2 hr or at 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 49, or 91 days following exposure. Chemical-related changes were restrict...
متن کاملTwo-hour methyl isocyanate inhalation exposure and 91-day recovery: a preliminary description of pathologic changes in F344 rats.
The accidental release of methyl isocyanate (MIC) in Bhopal, India, was reportedly responsible for the deaths of more than 2,000 people. To study the pathology of acute inhalation exposure to MIC, the tissues of male and female Fischer 344 rats were evaluated immediately after a single 2-hr exposure to 0, 3, 10, or 30 ppm MIC, and through day 91. Early gross pathologic changes in the 30 ppm-exp...
متن کاملMyelotoxicity induced in female B6C3F1 mice by inhalation of methyl isocyanate.
The effects of a 4-day inhalation exposure (6 hr/day) to 0, 1, and 3 ppm methyl isocyanate (MIC) on bone marrow parameters in female mice were examined at 5, 8, and 21 days following exposure. The MIC exposure was associated with myelotoxicity as evidenced by hypocellularity, suppression of pluripotent stem cells (CFU-S), granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (CFU-GM) and erythroid precursors (CFU...
متن کاملToxicity of inhaled methyl isocyanate in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice. I. Acute exposure and recovery studies.
Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations of methyl isocyanate by inhalation. Mortality, clinical signs, body and organ weights, and changes in clinical pathology and hematology were monitored immediately after 2-hr exposures and during the ensuing 3 months. Additional studies investigated the possible involvement of cyanide in the toxicity ...
متن کاملMethyl isocyanate eight-day vapor inhalation study with Fischer 344 rats.
Groups of ten male and ten female Fischer 344 rats were exposed by inhalation 3.1, 0.6, 0.15, or 0.0 (control) ppm of methyl isocyanate (MIC) vapor 6 hr per day for 8 days (two 4-day sessions separated by a 2-day rest). Evaluation of toxic effects included body weight, food consumption, organ weights, and selected hematologic, ophthalmic, neurologic, gross anatomic, and histologic examinations....
