[Isocyanates and formaldehyde--low molecular weight xenobiotics].
Isocyanates and formaldehyde are a low molecular weight environmental xenobiotics. Acute poisonings are relatively rare, chronic exposure not enough recognized. A source, mechanism of toxicity and ability of those low molecular weight compounds to stimulation of different types of immune response are presented in the study.
