Respiratory exposure is one of the most recognized routes of chemical exposure in the workplace. We have been done the hazard assessment of chemicals using a rodent and a whole-body inhalation exposure apparatus. Notably, only a limited number of chemicals exhibit organ-targeted toxicity specific to the respiratory system. In this presentation, chemicals that have been found to induce toxicity in the bronchial and alveolar regions will be selected and their recoverability will be discussed from a histopathological perspective.
To commence, male and female p53KO1 and rasH22 mice were exposed to chroloetane for 6 h/day, 5 days/week for up to 26 weeks using a whole-body inhalation exposure system. Outcomes revealed a concentration-dependent manifestation of vacuolar degeneration within the bronchial epithelium of mice lung.
Secondly, F344 rats were exposed of cross-linked water-soluble acrylic acid polymer (CWAAP)3,4 utilizing diverse protocols for systemic inhalation exposure and repeated intratracheal administration. Noteworthy lesions were discerned within the alveolar region in a manner contingent upon dosage and concentration.
Within this presentation, we aim to delve into the toxicologic pathological alterations induced by these chemicals, encompassing considerations of their recuperative potential.
