In experiments on toxicity, IWiOL-3-n aerosol as well as vapours and gases obtained by heating the oil up to 500 degrees C were administered by inhalation to experimental animals. No deaths of animals were recorded however, a significant decrease of cholinesterase activity was noted. The experiments were carried out in the specially constructed experimental chambers and the method of determination IWiOL-3-n in the air was developed. After intratracheal insufflation of IWiOL-3-n, rapid decrease of cholinesterase activity in blood serum was also observed. Tests on dermal toxicity showed very good absorption of the oils through the untouched skin.
