Abstract
If rats are exposed in a closed system to trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (900 ppm initial concentration), acetone is exhaled at a rate of 1.95 ± 0.79 (SD) μmol h per kg body weight. Acetone exhalation may reflect metabolic changes induced by the xenobiotic, and can also be elicited by exposure to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, perchloroethylene and vinylidene fluoride.
