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