| Abstract |
Disuse of the method using mercury as a catalyst in synthesising acetaldehyde may result in the formation of glycol vinyl ethers. The author investigated the toxic, dermatological and allergenic effects of the latter substances on animals. On the basis of the results (LD50, LC50, cutaneous absorption, changes in blood picture after repeated inhalations, irritation and inflammation of mucosae, etc.) he obtained with ethylene glycol monovinyl ether and 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane, the author recommends the adoption of a TLV of 30mg/m3. |
