Abstract
The neurotoxicity of methyl n-amyl keitone was investigated in a chronic inhalation study lasting 9 months. Rats and monkeys were exposed 6 hrs/day, 5 days/week, to mean MAK levels of 0, 131, and 1025 ppm. Electrodiagnostic measures of nervous system function revealed no neurotoxic impairment at either MAK exposure. Body weights were similarly unaffected. Gross and histopathology also indicated no adverse effects of MAK. It was concluded that MAK does not possess neurotoxic properties similar to those possessed by methyl n-butyl ketone.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
