On the Metabolism of Some Aromatic Nitro Compounds by Different Species of Animal: Part III. The Toxicity of the Dinitrophenols, with a Note on the Effects of High Environmental Temperatures

Abstract

Abstract An account is given of an investigation of the toxicity of the dinitrophenols to small laboratory animals. A new pattern of toxicity to chemical structure has been discovered and is discussed in relation to other dinitro-compounds. Also the effects of high temperatures on the toxicity of the dinitrophenols have been studied.
