The identified urinary metabolites of male rats exposed to indan are: 1- and 2-indanone; 1-, 2- and 5-indanol; 2- and 3-hydroxyl-1-indanone; and cis- and trans-indan-1,2-diol. Indan causes kidney damage in male rats in a manner similar to the cyclic hydrocarbons cis- and trans-decalin and JP-10. Lesions produced by indan occur only in male rats and not in female or control rats.
