The Acute Inhalation Toxicity of Pyrolysis Products of Halon 1301: Kinetic Course of Lung Injury, Degradation in Work Performance, and Exercise Potentiation of Lung Injury after Phosgene Exposure

Abstract

The final report summarizes investigations that have focused on the lower respiratory tract toxicity of inhaled phosgene (COCl2), and it describes how the injurious effects of this compound may be enhanced by post-exposure exercise and/or result in a reduction in work performance capacity. Additionally, information is provided as to how increases in minute ventilation during exposure to phosgene affects the severity of the injurious response.
