| Popis: | Continuous exposure to approximately a 10-ppm concentration of sulfur dioxide for periods of up to 3 weeks reduced the resistance of female mice to infection by aerosol inoculation with Klebsiella pneumoniae . The mortality rate rose and survival time shortened in SO 2 -exposed animals compared to controls. Insofar as these results can be extrapolated to humans, the SO 2 concentration used in this work is only found on certain industrial premises. |
