Title Toxicology of higher aliphatic alcohol acrylates
Original title K toksikologii ėfirov akrilovoj kisloty i vysših alifatičeskih spirtov [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Nov. 1976, No.11, p.41-44. Illus. 6 ref.
Abstract Animal experiments to determine the toxicity of heptyl acrylate (HA) and nonyl acrylate (NA), used in the plastics industry. HA is much more toxic than the (presumed) hydrolysis products, acrylic acid and heptyl alcohol, and is extremely toxic on acute administration. Chronic exposure to HA and NA affects the oxidation-reduction processes and produces nervous, renal and myocardial toxicity. Proposed TLV for these substances, on the basis of acute and chronic exposure tests: 1mg/m3.
