Toxicological Profile for Dinitrotoluenes
Toxicological Profile Information
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and
adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described
here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature
that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other
pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than
the key studies. The complete list of topics covered (chapter titles) is
shown at the left and in more detail further down this page.
The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information. Therefore,
each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in nontechnical language, a substance's relevant properties.
A useful two page information sheet, the ToxFAQsTM,
is also available.
