Biological effects of trinitrotoluene from exposure below the threshold limit value

Abstract

Statistically significant rises in serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase determinations occurred at exposures to TNT of 0.8 mg/m3 and persisted at exposures of 0.6 mg/m3. Based on these findings, the adequacy of the current threshold limit value for TNT (1.5 mg/m3) is questioned.
