Brief summary
The phosgene cell target was investigated by means of tissue barriers models. Rats were undergo phosgene exposure both of inhalation and intraperitoneal. Group of positive control was consisted of rats with hydrogen chloride intraperitoneal introduction (10000 ppm). Samples of lungs, liver and mesentery were taken after 60 minutes of exposure for histological investigation. Tissue samples were fixed with 10% neutral formalin solution and histological specimens Inhalation of phosgene caused pulmonary edema with an inflammatory reaction, whereas with its intraperitoneal injection, no tissue inflammation was detected. Hydrogen chloride caused necrosis of mesotheliocytes and adipocytes with moderate leukocyte infiltration in the mesentery of the small intestine. It has been suggested that alveolocytes act as the cellular target of phosgene, the damage of which leads to the development of pulmonary edema.
