Abstract |
Criteria document. Pyridine has an unpleasant, nauseating odour and it is irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Mild symptoms of central nervous system injury may result from exposure to approximately 10ppm. Higher doses cause liver and kidney damage. Most studies on mutagenicity and genotoxicity are negative. The critical effects of pyridine seem to be its effects on the central nervous system and the liver. Summary in swedish. |
