| Abstract |
The irritant effect of isocyanates on the conjunctiva, trachea and bronchi is known. These studies in 18 persons involved in an industrial accident confirmed the harmful respiratory effects, while electrocardiographic changes in the conduction system occurred in 7 cases. The ECG changes were no longer present after 8 days. The possibility that the effect on the cardiac muscle results from hydrolysis products is discussed. |
