Hematotoxic Effect of Respiratory Exposure to PHMG-p and Its Integrated Genetic Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesToxics, 2022
Polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG-p), the main ingredient of humidifier disinfectants, circulates systemically through the lungs; however, its toxicological assessment has been primarily limited to pulmonary disease. Herein, we investigated the
