Simple, rapid, and highly sensitive detection of diphosgene and triphosgene by spectrophotometric methods.

Talanta 80(1) , 231-5, (2009)

Methods for the detection and estimation of diphosgene and triphosgene are described. These compounds are widely used phosgene precursors which produce an intensely colored purple pentamethine oxonol dye when reacted with 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (DBA) and...

Acute nose-only inhalation exposure of rats to di- and triphosgene relative to phosgene.

Inhal. Toxicol. 23(2) , 65-73, (2011)

Groups of young adult Wistar rats were acutely exposed to trichloromethyl chloroformate (diphosgene) and bis(trichloromethyl) carbonate (triphosgene) vapor atmospheres using a directed-flow nose-only mode of exposure. The exposure duration used was 240 min. T...
