A series of experiments have been conducted to provide a pharmacokinetic data base for interspecies comparisons and for formulation and validation of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models. The basic experimental design has involved giving equal doses of halocarbons in different species, including mice, rats, and dogs. Perchloroethylene (PCE), tetrachloroethane (TET), trichloroethylene (TCE), and trichloroethane (TRI) have been employed as test chemicals, in order to evaluate the relative importance of the physicochemical property ...
