Abstract |
In these animal experiments, respiratory uptake of furan was 90-95% in dogs, verying inversely with the ventilatory rate. The intraperitoneal LD50 values of 5.2mg/kg in rats and 6.9mg/kg in mice, and the LC50 of 0.12µg/ml in mice, all clearly indicate the high toxic potential of furan. |
