title: Kinetics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in different organs of the rat.
abstract: The concentration of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was measured in the blood and various other tissues of the rat after IP administration of the compound at 25 mg per kg body weight. The highest concentration, 329 +/- 117 nmol X g-1, was found in the kidney. Half-times were between 1.4 and 1.8 h in the blood, brain, fat, kidney, liver and muscle. The extent of conjugation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was also investigated by measuring total and free chlorophenol in the blood.
