Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Based on clinical and laboratory evaluation of cyanosis cases during a 10-year period a number of cyanogenic aromatic nitro compounds were ranked in descending order of relative hazard relating to their cyanogenic potential observed in exposed industrial workers (rank 1 = most potent, rank 13 = least potent): 

o-chloronitrobenzene was classified in rank 7; 

laboratory evaluation showed that total oxygenatable haemoglobin in some cases, notably after be expected from methaemoglobin analysis (unspecified route of absorption)
