Abstract
The report discusses the toxicological effects of the products of thermal processing of shale (tars and phenols). Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of these products on guinea pigs after inhalation and contact with the skin. The experimental results indicate that shale tars and phenols produced in the Estonian SSR are irritants and a period of exposure affect the skin. Other physiological effects are noted.
