Kerosene, labeled with 3H-toluene or 14C-hexadecane, was given to baboons by nasogastric tube after a tracheostomy had been performed. Six hours later the animals were killed and samples of tissues taken for analysis. The radioactive label was recovered from all the tissues analyzed. 3H-toluene appeared to be absorbed and taken up by most tissues to a greater extent than was 14C-hexadecane. No abnormal neurologic signs or behavior was noted in the baboons which were conscious during the study period. It appears that primates absorb kerosene from the gastrointestinal tract, but the volumes are very small and do not cause gross neurologic signs.
在给狒狒实施气管切开术后，通过鼻胃管给它们喂食用³H - 甲苯或¹⁴C - 十六烷标记的煤油。6小时后处死动物，采集组织样本进行分析。在所有分析的组织中都检测到了放射性标记物。³H - 甲苯似乎比¹⁴C - 十六烷更容易被大多数组织吸收和摄取。在研究期间清醒的狒狒未出现异常神经体征或行为。看来灵长类动物能从胃肠道吸收煤油，但吸收量非常小，不会引起明显的神经体征。
