TOXICOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM EFFECTS OF BORANE FUELS

Abstract

Accidental human exposure to boron hydrides was studied with respect to the effects on the central nervous system. Serial electroencephalographic (EEG) tracings were used to identify the effects. Results of the study indicate little or no central nervous system damage was experienced by the participants. Methods, machines, and techniques used are described in detail. A complete data summary of all subjects tested is included.
