2.9.3 On-going Studies<br />

2. HEALTH EFFECTS<br />

A study is being conducted by R.G. Schnellmann (University of Georgia) for the National Institute of<br />

Environmental Health Sciences to evaluate the mechanism of nephrotoxicity of halocarbons, including<br />

<strong>hexachlorobutadiene</strong>. The mechanism of how metabolites alter proximal tubular cellular physiology<br />

to produce toxicity is being investigated, with particular emphasis on the effects of metabolites on<br />

mitochondria (CRISP 1993).
