Abstract :

<p>Acetone (dimethyl ketone) and 2–propanone (CH3COCH3) is an organic chemical compound which belongs to ketones. Acetone is produced normally in human body, but its excessive levels has toxic hazard< /> effects. Acetone is used in many fields, but excessively as nail polish remover. Present study results proved acetone< /> inhalation bad effects (with different concentration levels on experimental male Wistar rats), as neuro–behavior disorders, lack of red blood cells, biochemical imbalance in glucose and insulin levels, urinary acetone increasing level and< /> histopathological alterations in some target tissues. We aimed to provide a greater awareness to consumers of acetone< /> against its usage without attention as they may are exposed directly or indirectly to acetone inhalation. </p>
