Abstract
Fifteen boys who were habitual sniffers of the kind of glue used for assembling model airplanes were investigated in regard to the acute and chronic toxicity of the substances in the glue. The acute effects of airplane glue were measured by serial psychometric testing in eight subjects and a transitory visual motor disturbance was found. In one case there was elevated spinal fluid pressure due to intoxication with the inhaled substance. No chronic renal, hematologic or hepatic changes were observed.Entities:
