متن کاملSubchronic toxicity and teratogenicity of 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124).
Inhalation studies were conducted to determine the potential toxicity of HCFC-124. Groups of rats and mice were exposed to HCFC-124 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 13 weeks at 0, 5000, 15,000, and 50,000 ppm. Subgroups of rats and mice were held for a 1-month recovery period. A functional observational battery (FOB) was conducted on rats at 0, 4, 13, and 16 weeks. Clinical pathology evaluations were ...
