title: [Toxicologic-hygienic characteristics of the preparation nerosin, an agent for protecting plants and soils subject to wind erosion].
abstract: A year's experiment on albino rats fed with bread prepared from spring wheat "Saratovskaya-29" grown with the utilization of the antideflationary agent nerosin (1.5 t/hectare) showed that this bread did not effect the functional condition of the liver (the antitozic and protein-forming functions), as well as the redox activity of the blood constituents catalase and peroxidase, and the morphological structure of the peripheral blood of the animals. An elevation of glucuronic acid metabolism (33.16 +/- 3.45 microgram in the test group, 16.7 +/- 2.17 microgram in the controls, P less than 0.05) and a significant increase in the level of free and bound sulfates in urine, as well as a change in the sulfate index suggested intensified physiological functional defence reactions in the test animals. The use of nerosin did not affect the organoleptic characteristics of the bread and its baking properties.
