Trimethylbenzene isomers (TMBs): 1,2,4-TMB (pseudocumene--PS), 1,2,3-TMB (hemimellitene--HM) and 1,3,5-TMB (mesitylene--MES) are important constituents of solvent mixtures. In the US, the adopted TLV-TWA value for TMBs is 125 mg/m3 or 25 ppm (ACGIH 1996). Recent experiments at our laboratory have revealed

The three trimethyl isomers of benzene (hemimellitene, 1,2,3-TMB; pseudocumene, 1,2,4-TMB and mesitylene, 1,3,5-TMB) were investigated for different genotoxicity endpoints: in vitro, in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA97a, TA98, TA100 and TA102 strains in the presence and absence of

Neurotoxic effects of trimethylbenzene isomers (pseudocumene, mesitylene and hemimellitene) in male rats were investigated in conditions of acute and subchronic inhalation exposure. Rotarod performance and pain sensitivity behaviour were tested in rats exposed to trimethylbenzenes at concentrations of 250-2,000 ppm
