- Abstract
- During the initial phase of the evaluation of toxic combustion products we have adopted a simple animal behavioral model in order to determine the effects of brief exposure to CO and elevated temperatures. Since the purpose of the experiments was to evaluate toxic effects on ongoining unrestrained behavior, whole body exposures were used in these experiments.
