Abstract

The toxicity of each of 14 volatile chemicals was tested by use of a technique of injecting the chemicals into chick embryos. The toxicity data are given and compared with the Threshold Limit Values. There is a correlation of the data in general indicating that the chick embryo test for toxicity may be a useful tool in industrial toxicology.
