Title Combined effect of hydrogen fluoride and sulfur dioxide on the white rat
Original title Kombinirovannoe dejstvie ftoristogo vodoroda i sernistogo angidrida na organizm belyh krys [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Apr. 1983, No.4, p.46-49. 9 ref.
Abstract Rats were exposed to hydrogen fluoride (HF), sulfur dioxide (SO2) or a mixture of the two at concentrations equivalent to 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 or 1 time the USSR MACs (0.5 and 10mg/m3, respectively). The albumin and globulin content of their blood was analysed by electrophoresis after 4 months of exposure for each working day. At 1/10 of the MAC, mixtures produced effects similar to those of HF alone; at higher concentrations, the effect of SO2 became more prominent. Changes in the relative proportions of the classes of serum proteins were more significant than changes in total protein concentration.
