Toxicological Profile for Tetrachloroethylene

Table 1. Indoor Air Quality –Levels of Pollutants in Households

The primary purpose of this Interaction Profile for carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and tetrachloroethylene is to evaluate data on the toxicology of the “whole” mixture and the joint toxic action of the chemicals in the mixture in order to recommend approaches for assessing the potential hazard of this mixture to public health. To this end, the profile evalu...

Human Health Effects of Tetrachloroethylene: Key Findings and Scientific Issues

BACKGROUND The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a toxicological review of tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE) in February 2012 in support of the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS). OBJECTIVES We reviewed key findings and scientific issues regarding the human health effects of PCE described in the U.S. EPA's Toxicological Review of Tetrachloroethylene (Perch...

Toxicological profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of Musa paradisiaca in rats

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the toxicity profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of Musa paradisiaca in rats. Materials and Methods: In acute toxicity test, the rats of different groups were orally administered with a single dose of 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of fermented extract of M. paradisiaca. The rats were monitored for behavioral changes, toxicity signs and mortali...
