Abstract |
Benzothiazole is a yellow liquid with an unpleasant odour similar to quinoline. Occupational exposure through inhalation or dermal contact occurs mostly at rubber processing facilities and during asphalt paving. No data is available on the toxicity of benzothiazole in humans. Acute toxicity testing in laboratory animals revealed effects on the central nervous system and liver. Based on an LOAEL value of 135 mg/kg and on uncertainty factors, a MAC (TWA) value has been calculated at 20 mg/m3. A skin notation is also considered appropriate. |
