| Resumen |
A critical survey and evaluation of the relevant literature disclosed that data are insufficient for establishing a relationship between the air concentration and response. With few exceptions, human exposure to phenol in industry has been limited to accidental skin contact or inhalation of phenol vapour. The irritating effect of phenol should be taken into account in the establishment of a hygienic standard. Phenol vapour is readily absorbed via the lungs and skin and the quantity absorbed can be greatly increased through skin absorption from aqueous solutions of phenol. Phenol is suspected as being a promoter of tumour development in mice. |
