Use of the TIPS Technique as a Possible Method of Acute Inhalation Toxicity Assessment
ABSTRACT Acute inhalation toxicity studies provide crucial information regarding short‐term exposure to volatile chemicals and help to ensure the safe handling and use of these chemicals. However, acute inhalation toxicity assessment requires specialized equipment, and most animal facilities are not able to carry out such studies.
