[Effects of organohalogenated compounds on the emission of ethane and pentane in expired air]. 1983

J L Cluet, and C Boudène

Effects of two halogenated acetamides (chloroacetamide-iodoacetamide) and of three chlorinated volatile solvents on the ethane-pentane test, as an index of in vivo lipid peroxidation have been studied. Chloroacetamide stimulates alcanes production. Iodoacetamide acts only on pentane exhalation. The three chlorinated solvents seem to induce moderate lipoperoxidation, and the apparent increase of hydrocarbons might also result from decreased metabolism.
