Toxicological aspects of dimethyl-ether.
The authors report the results of a series of investigations on the toxic effects produced in mice and rabbits by inhalation of Dimethyl-ether. Median lethal concentration (LC50) and Median lethal time (LT50) were determined in the mouse. Also the effects of DME inhalation on some physiological parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, blood gas and pH data) were evaluated in the rabbit.
