SOLVENTS: N/A. THE TOXICITY INFORMATION ON TRANS-DICHLOROETHYLENE
HAS BEEN LIMITED TO STUDIES OF QUESTIONABLE QUALITY. THESE
STUDIES SUGGESTED LIVER & KIDNEY TOXICITY AT ELEVATED
CONCENTRATIONS. RECENTLY A 90-DAY INHALATION STUDY WAS CONDUCTED
TO CLARIFY THE TOXICITY OF TRANS-DICHLOROETHYLEN E. NO ADVERSE
EFFECTS WERE SEEN IN THIS STUDY WHICH HAD A HIGH DOSE OF 4000 PPM.
ANIMAL STUDIES REVEALED INCREASED LEVELS OF URINARY FLUORIDE AFTER
REPEATED EXPOSURE TO THE ETHER COMPONENTS.
