Chloro compounds of phosphorus as industrial hazards.
The toxicometric indices of phosphorus oxychloride, trichloride and pentachloride were determined and the peculiarities of the toxic effect of these compounds were investigated in experiment. Comparative characteristics of the irritant and resorptive effects of the substances were presented. The highest admissible concentrations (HAC) in the air of the working place were set at 0.05 mg/m3, 0.2 mg/m3 and 0.2 mg/m3 for phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride and phosphorus pentachloride, respectively. Some prophylactic measures were recommended.
