Inhalation of Cl2 or HCHO stimulated the trigeminal nerve endings in the nasal mucosa and resulted in respiratory rate depression in a concentration-dependent manner. To determine tolerance and cross-tolerance, the concentration-response curves of respiratory depression were compared between naive rats and rats pre-exposed to Cl2 or HCHO. Cl2 tolerance development was time and concentration dependent, being significant following a 1 day (6 h/day), 10 ppm exposure, and reaching the maximum in 4 days. At 2.5 ppm Cl2, tolerance was significant only after 10 days of exposure. Rats tolerant to Cl2 also showed cross-tolerance to HCHO. Tolerance to HCHO was observed in rats exposed to 28 ppm for 4 days, but not in groups exposed to 15 ppm for 1, 4 or 10 days. Significant cross-tolerance to Cl2 was evident following a 1 day exposure to 15 ppm HCHO, with greatest effect seen in the group exposed for 10 days. Tolerance was reduced after a 7 day recovery following a 4 day exposure. Cross-tolerance was reduced also, but to a lesser extent. These results suggested a common mechanism for tolerance and cross-tolerance development, but different reactive sites may have existed for Cl2 and HCHO at the trigeminal nerve endings.
