Abstract:Physiological and behavioral (conditioned avoidance) responses of male Lonlg-Evans rats were determined during exposure to combustion products produced on thermal degradation of three different polymeric materials. Arterial blood samples were obtained for determination of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and acid/base status. Material A produced a syndrome of carbon monoxide (CO)-induced anoxia, the severity of which was a function of the mass of material degraded. Material B produced grand mal seizures despite COHb l… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
