RS-Freetext:
Effects: The threshold concentration of H2O2 vapours for the respiratory  organs was shown to be 10 mg/m3, the no-effect concentration was 1 mg/m3.  At two and three months of exposure to 10 mg/m3 an increase was noted in  the serum epoxidase activity (2.50 and 2.63, respectively, in the control  animals 2.16 and 2.20). After 4 months the lungs showed a decrease of  succinate dehydrogenase activity (SDH) (0.26 among exposed animals versus  0.34 in controls). After 4 months, histoenzymological studies of the  lungs revealed a decrease in the activities of SDH, monoamine oxidase  (MAO), acid phosphatase, diesterase, and an increase in the activity of  alkaline phosphatase.
