| Abstract |
After a brief review of recent Italian legislation concerning compensation for health damage due to occupational exposure to this substance, this article takes stock of the physical and chemical properties of furfural, its production, uses in industry and agriculture, and toxicity (which mainly affects the autonomic nervous system, but may also cause irritation of the mucosae and skin allergy). The article also deals with treatment of poisoning and preventive measures. |
