| Abstract |
Results of animal experiments with a view to modifying the TLV for methyl methacrylate. Concentrations around 50mg/m3 produce hepatotoxic effects and raise the blood pressure. There is also a narcotic effect. A survey of 90 exposed workers (3-6 years exposure, mainly to 4-20mg/m3 concentrations) showed ECG changes and disturbance of liver proteinogenic function. On the basis of data obtained the authors recommend a Soviet TLV of 10mg/m3 for this substance. |
