Environmental and biological effects of propoxur-impregnated strips within a laboratory animal room.
Rats were exposed to propoxur-impregnated strips in a conventional laboratory animal room. The air in the room was monitored for the pesticide, and erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity was determined periodically. Air concentration of the pesticide never exceeded 0.8 microgram/m3, and no significant change in enzyme activity was observed.
