摘要
The objective of the present study was to determine the rat blood:air partition coefficients (P-b:a) Of chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform present in vitro individually or as mixtures. The experimentally determined P-b:a Of chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethane and bromoform present individually corresponded to (mean +/- SD, n = 8) 21.3 +/- 1.8, 41.8 +/- 6.2, 97.5 +/- 4.1, and 187 +/- 7.4, respectively. The P-b:a Of these trihalomethanes (THMs) showed a decreasing trend during mixed in vitro exposures to 0.138 +/- 0.002 or 0.273 +/- 0.002 mu mol of each of the four THMs. In general, the P-b:a determined during mixed exposures differed by less than or equal to 15% of the average P-b:a determined for THMs present individually. The results of this study suggest that an alteration of P-b:a Of the individual THMs is unlikely to occur at the blood concentrations of THMs observed during mixed exposures in rats.
