Vapours cause strong irritation of the eyes and the airways without other ill effects in industrial workers. However, particular individual susceptibility to o-DCB, resulting in the development of systemic symptoms and haemolytic anaemia, has been described in one case r... more

Ångorna ger upphov till kraftig irritation i ögon och luftvägar hos industriarbetare utan andra påtagliga hälsoeffekter. Individuell känslighet har emellertid beskrivits i en fallrapport dä... more
