[Hygienic rationale for the maximum allowable concentration of agidol 10 in the ambient air of inhabited localities]

Abstract

The subjects of studies were laboratory animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, albino rats, albino mice) and a chemical substance (agidol 10, a alkyl phenol derivative). The purpose of the study was to provide a rationale for the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of agidol 10 in the atmosphere of inhabited localities. Experimental studies of the toxicity of agidol 10 were conducted on laboratory animals. The recommended average daily MAC of agidol 10 was 1.0 mg/mn; the maximum single dose was 2.0 mg/m3. The limiting index was its resorptive activity.
