Abstract |
Animal experiments to study the toxicological characteristics of oxalon fibres showed their low toxicity on intraabdominal and intragastric administration. On intratracheal administration, oxalon dust is not fibrogenic, but does slightly irritate pulmonary tissue. A maximum allowable concentration of 10mg/m3 (hazard class 4) for oxalon fibres in workplace air is proposed. |
