[The effect of benzene derivatives on the body sensitization of children]
Abstract:
The health of children from different districts of the town of Kstov, Nizhegorod [correction of Nizhni Novgorod] Province, that has developed petrochemical industry, was studied. The study demonstrated that the children living in a ecologically poor area had high sensitization to benzene derivatives and a high incidence of allergic diseases.

Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
