Inhalation toxicity of methylglutaronitrile in rats.

Drug Chem. Toxicol. 26(2) , 99-115, (2003)

Methylglutaronitrile (MGN) is a high-boiling (263 degrees C) solvent/intermediate used in the fiber industry. Twenty male rats per group were exposed nose-only to condensation aerosol/vapor concentrations of approximately either 5, 25, or 200 mg/m3 of MGN for...
