The fungicide methyl thiophanate (MT), widely used to control some of the most common fungal diseases in crops, is metabolized in animals into benzimidazole compounds, including the well-known reproductive toxicant carbendazim. However, standard toxicological tests did not indicate that MT may cause

✦ Synopsis
The pulmonary toxicity of two potential environmental pollutants was studied in rats 1, 7 and 30 days after a single intratracheal instillation of lead nitrate and Dithane M-45 (mancoceb), either individually or in various combinations. The cell count, protein, phospholipids and lactate dehydrogenase level were determined in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as were the protein, phospholipids and acid phosphatase contents in the lung tissue. Lead nitrate and Dithane M-45 induced acute inflammation reactions with different features. The effects of mixtures of lead nitrate and Dithane M-45 were found to be different from those of the individual components.
