چکیده
Toluene (methylbenzene) is a colourless liquid used as a solvent in the manufacture of synthetic rubber paint and lacquer as well as trinitrotoluene (Fairhall, 1957). Chronic or acute exposure to high concentrations is known to be toxic and to cause renal and hepatocellular damage (O'Brien, Yeoman, and Hobby, 1971). This report deals with severe myoglobinuria and acute renal failure necessitating haemodialysis after acute exposure to toluene.
