Carcinogenesis studies of ethylbenzene were conducted because of its extensive use as a solvent and because it is structurally similar to the known carcinogen benzene. Groups of 50 male and 50 female Fischer rats and B6C3F1 mice were exposed to ethylbenzene by inhalation at 0, 75, 250, and 750 ppm 6
Ethylbenzene is mainly used in the manufacture of styrene. Ethylbenzene is also a major component of mixed xylenes used as solvents in agricultural and home insecticide sprays, rubber and chemical manufacturing, and household degreasers, paints, adhesives, and rust preventives. Ethylbenzene is also
Male Wistar rats were exposed (six hours/day, five days/week) to 0, 50, 300 or 600 p.p.m. of ethylbenzene vapour in the air, and killed after 2, 5, 9 or 16 weeks of exposure. After 600 p.p.m., liver-microsomal protein but not cytochrome P-450 concn. was slightly increased; NADPH-cytochrome c
Gasoline contains toxic substances such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX) that negatively influence gas/fuel station workers' health via continuous inhalation, causing loss of cilia and epithelial cell necrosis of the nasal mucosa. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation
