Arts, J.H.E. (author), Rennen, M.A.J. (author), de Heer, C. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Objectives: The critical health effects of formaldehyde exposure include sensory irritation and the potential to induce tumours in the upper respiratory tract. In literature, a concentration as low as 0.24 ppm has been reported to be irritating to the respiratory tract in humans. Nasal tumour-inducing levels in experimental animals seem to be 1...article 2006

Instituut CIVO-Toxicologie en voeding TNO (author), Woutersen, R.A. (author), Appelman, L.M. (author), van Garderen-Hoetmer, A. (author), Feron, V.J. (author)Male and female Wistar rats were exposed to acetaldehyde vapour at nominal concentrations 0, 750, 1500 or 3000/1000 ppm during 6 h/day, 5 days/week for up to 28 months. Major compound-related effects included increased mortality, growth retardation, nasal tumours, and non-neoplastic nasal changes in each of the test groups. The treatment-related...article 1986

Woutersen, R.A. (author), Appelman, L.M. (author), Feron, V.J. (author), van der Heijden, C.A. (author), Instituut CIVO-Toxicologie en Voeding TNO (author)Male and female Wistar rats were exposed to acetaldehyde vapour at concentrations of 0, 750, 1500 and 3000/1000 ppm during 6 h/day, 5 days/week for up to 27 months. The present paper deals with the results obtained during the first 15 months of the study, including interim kills after 13, 26 and 52 weeks. Major compound-related lesions occurred...article 1984
