In Vivo Effects of N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET) Exposure on Sinonasal Epithelia in a Murine Model. [PDF]
Otolaryngol Head Neck SurgAbstract Environmental factors, including airborne toxicants, are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the impact of pesticide, N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET), on the sinonasal epithelium using an in vivo murine model ...
