| Abstract |
These aerosols were studied in order to determine the occupational hazards of pesticide formulations. Mice or rats were exposed to radio-labelled heptadecane in soya-bean oil and the amounts inhaled were determined from estimates of average respiratory minute volumes of the animals and the duration of exposure. The deposition and early distribution were calculated from the radioactivity. The amounts for mice and rats were, respectively: head 9.1, 3.1%; lung 3.8, 9.9%; stomach 59, 13%; esophagus 4.7, 0.4%; and duodenum 7.0, 1.9%. The amounts in the trachea were negligible in both species. |
