Abstract
At the present time, more than 400 chemical substances in the composition of so-called 'metabolic emissions' have been identified and in a number of cases qualitatively defined; 149 compounds were detected in emissions from the oral cavity, 271 enter the atmosphere from skin impurities, 183 substances are given off from urine and 196 from the feces. To artificially create such a complex of chemical substances for studying its toxicity for different time periods on the organism presents great difficulties. Therefore, the authors considered it more expedient to conduct a study of the peculiarities of the toxic effect of metabolic products under the conditions of an experiment where the entire complex of these substances would be generated into the atmosphere of a chamber by the test animals themselves. The results of these experiments are reported.
