| Abstract |
No data are available on the effects of chloranil in man. Animal studies show that the clinical symptoms of acute oral intoxication are characterized by diarrhoea and convulsions; lethal doses have a depressive effect on the central nervous system. Subacute and chronic studies show the primary effects to be degeneration of the liver and kidney. Chloranil causes slight skin irritation and considerable irritation and irreversible damage to the eye. |
