The article presents data on environmental pollution by trichodermin in the area of agricultural use of the chemical, as well as brief information on the toxicological assessment of the chemical with an indication of specific allergic effects. To prevent unfavourable effects of trichodermin on the population and to develop prophylactic measures it is necessary that hygienic standards be set for the chemical in ambient air. Therefore, the article presents results of the study of sensitizing properties of trichodermin obtained in experiments on animals under the conditions of long-term inhalational exposure to the chemical. 1 X 10(3) of microbic bodies per 1 m3 is recommended as trichodermin MAC according to the limiting allergic indicator.
