Abstrakt: The article presents a study which examines the lethal dose of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer vapor for laboratory rats. An LC50 concentration for MMA monomer vapor in rats is estimated, using 70 adult Sprague-Dawley rats evenly divided by sex. Rats were selected for participation in seven dose groups according to a true random process, with six of the groups being exposed to MMA. By performing an interpolation of a linear regression based on experimental data, the LC50 value was determined to be 7,093 parts per million (ppm).
