Abstract
The effects of six-hours' exposure to trichloroethylene vapors on the swimming performance and on the motor activity of rats has been investigated. At 400 ppm trichloroethylene, decreased performance under load was barely significant. At 800 ppm, adverse effects were significant both with and without load immediately after exposure, but not after a one-hour recovery period. Motor activity was lowered during exposure and 20 to 80 minutes after termination of exposure to 1600 ppm.Keywords
