## Abstract Until the 16th day of gestation the intravenous LD~50~ of Cd^2+^ in the pregnant WistarβPorton rat is higher, but not significantly different from that (1.8 mg Cd^2+^ per kg body weight) in nulliparous females. At 20 days it is 1.1 mg Cd^2+^ kg per body weight. This decrease is related

β¦ Synopsis
1 -Nitronaphthalene (1 -NN) produced respiratory distress and centrilobular liver necrosis in male Sprague-Dawley rats after a single intraperitoneal injection (100 mg kg-'). Microscopic examination of the lungs of rats killed 24 h after the injection revealed a highly selective non-ciliated bronchiolar (Clara) cell necrosis as the only remarkable lesion. Pretreatment of animals with phenobarbital offered complete protection from the respiratory distress induced by 1-NN, but increased the severity of the hepatotoxicity. Pretreatment with SKF-525A protected against 1-"-induced liver necrosis, but did not alter the incidence or severity of the respiratory distress. Under similar conditions, this pattern of toxicity was not seen with the structural analogue 2-nitronaphthalene.

Nine chemicals, with a range from extremely to slightly toxic, were used to measure the oral LDS0 in both fasted (24-h) and non-fasted rats. Each chemical was tested as a solution or suspension in corn oil, responses within 14 days post-treatment were evaluated, and LDsos were calculated. Hexachloro
