Abstract : The research programs of the Toxic Hazards Research Unit (THRU) for the period of June 1977 through May 1978 are reviewed in this report. Subchronic inhalation toxicity studies were conducted on decalin, JP-5 and DFM. Studies were carried out on the oncogenicity of inhaled hydrazine, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and monomethylhydrazine. Acute oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity studies were conducted on a large variety of chemical agents used by the Air Force and Navy or transported in interstate commerce. Sensitization, eye and skin irritation studies were also made on these chemicals.
