Abstract
Carbon disulfide at unusually high concentrations in industry was found most frequently to cause a disturbance of the pupillary reaction to light. Under the same conditions, despite exposure of workers for several years, retrobulbar neuritis was rare, and the pressure in the central retinal arteries was found not to be significantly affected Experiments with white rats showed that no histologically demonstrable lesions were produced in the retinas or optic nerve fibers by exposure for 48 days to 1500-5000 mg/cu m of air, from 10 min. to 1 hr. daily.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
