Lung tissue inflammatory response and pneumonocyte apoptosis of Sprague-Dawley rats after a 30-day exposure in methyl mercaptan vapor.

The objective of the research was to reveal the potential toxicity effects of methyl mercaptan on rat lung tissue. A dynamic exposure device and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were adopted. The exposure concentration of methyl mercaptan was 0.

Preliminary results of toxicity studies in rats following low-dose and short-term exposure to methyl mercaptan.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the hematotoxicity and respiratory toxicity of methyl mercaptan in Sprague-Dawley rats. A dynamic exposure methodology was adopted in this study following 7 days of exposure by repeated inhalation. The concentration of methyl mercaptan used in the exposure was 0.
