Original title O normirovanii aėrozolja mafenida acetata [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Aug. 1987, No.8, p.50-51. 2 ref.
Abstract Animal experiments to study the toxicological properties of maphenide acetate showed it to be of low toxicity, non-irritant and not absorbed by the skin. Contact with maphenide acetate at the workplace may be a cause of various allergies. A maximum allowable concentration of 0.5mg/m3 for aerosols of maphenide acetate in workplace air (allergen, hazard class 2) is recommended.
