Abstract |
Results of studies with human subjects aimed at elucidating the effect of inhaling weak concentrations of butyl alcohol on certain reflexes. The study of retinal dark adaptation, chronaxie (conditioned reflex reaction time) and the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex demonstrated that liminal and subliminal concentrations of butyl alcohol (2.5 and 0.5mg/m3) alter these reflexes. A concentration of 0.1mg/m3 had no effect. This latter value is proposed as the TLV for a single exposure. |
