Abstract |
When administered to rats in a single peroral dose of 2000mg/kg (0.5LD50) or in repeated inhalation doses of 40mg/kg (0.01LD50) at a concentration of 30mg/m3, betanal was embryotoxic and teratogenic. Changes were noted in the nucleic acid contents of certain organs of the mothers and offspring. The threshold concentration for embryotoxic action is 2mg/m3. A MAC of 0.5mg/m3 is recommended. |
