Title The acute toxicity of penta-, hexa-, and heptachlorohydroxydiphenyl ethers in mice
Bibliographic information Aug.-Sep. 1983, Vol.12, Nos. 2-3, p.245-253. Illus. 23 ref.
Abstract The acute intraperitoneal LD50 values determined for a series of polychlorohydroxydiphenyl ethers (Cl=5-7) were slightly less than those found for Irgasan DP-300 and substantially less than those observed for nonachlorohydroxydiphenyl ether and pentachlorophenol. A marked hypothermic effect was found, and symptomatology suggested a non-specific depressant effect on the central nervous system.
