| Abstract |
Results of animal experiments showing that benzaldehyde is moderately harmful. Massive concentrations (around 500mg/m3) cause irritation of the upper airways and conjunctiva. Haematological changes were observed after repeated inhalations of 26mg/m3. A TLV of 5mg/m3 is proposed on the basis of these results; the health status of workers exposed for one year to concentrations not exceeding this level confirm its validity. |
