Abstract |
The tracheal epithelium of rabbits was exposed for 4h to various concentrations of tetrahydrofuran. Ciliary activity declined after exposure, with full recovery within 1.5h from the end of exposure if exposure levels had not exceeded 1000ppm. After higher exposure levels, there was less than full recovery and there were noticeable permanent morphological changes in the tracheal mucous epithelium. |
