scope:

PREFACE: This volume is a compilation of API toxicological studies performed on petroleumbased materials. The entries for the studies are organized by the category of test sub stances (gasoline and gasoline streams, middle distillates, lubes, heavy fuels, solvents, shale oils, miscellaneous products and oxygenates). Within each entry, information is included about the test performed, the species tested and the test results.

For some studies, an abstract number for the study is given, corresponding to the number appearing in the Index and Abstracts to Reports and Other Publications of HESD or the APILIT database. For other studies, a TR number or API Publication number is given. When ordering a report for a study referenced in this publication (see below), please furnish either the appropriate (1) abstract number , (2) the API Publication number or (3) the TR number of the study. For those studies that are incomplete or the final report is not available at the time of publication, the phrase "Data on File" will appear.

Each year, updated entries (pages) will be made available to purchasers of this volume. The updates to Results of Toxicological Studies will be provided at a nominal cost.
