Abstract |
Results of studies in several animal species of the acute (lethal concentration and dose) and chronic toxicity of benzonitrile, which produces symptoms similar to those of benzene poisoning (functional changes of the nervous system, liver and kidneys, morphological peripheral blood changes). The acute poisoning hazard is negligible. There is a high risk of poisoning by chronic inhalation, with a danger threshold of 10mg/m3. An exposure limit of 1mg/m3 is recommended. |
