This study was performed to find out whether in acute exposure to trimethylbenzene (TMB) isomers the dose effect relationship is linear or biphasic. In experiments performed on rats, the effect of four solvents was studied: three TMB isomers: 1,3,5-TMB (mesitylene)

Sensory respiratory irritation effects of trimethylbenzene isomers (TMBs) (hemimellitene, mesitylene and pseudocumene) in male Balb/C mice were investigated in conditions of acute exposure and in male Wistar rats in conditions of repeated 90-day inhalation exposure to pseudocumene. The pseudocumene, mesitylene

Toxic effects of exposure to 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (hemimellitene) in the condition of subchronic inhalation experiment were examined. Rats were exposed to vapours of hemimellitene at concentrations of 123 mg/m3, 492 mg/m3 and 1230 mg/m3, 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 3 months.
