Ingestion of approximately 60 mL (625 mg/kg) of toluene proved fatal for a white male mental patient.

Used for the removal of ascarids (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) and as an aid in removing tapeworms (Taenia pisiformis, Dipylidium caninum, and Echinococcus granulosus) from dogs and cats.

In a group of 37 rotogravure printers a close correlation (rs = 0.78) was found between the time weighted toluene exposure during a five day working week (range 8-416 mg/cu m, median 75) and the concentration of toluene in subcutaneous adipose tissue (range 1.1-20.7 mg/kg, median 3.8). After exposure ceased, the elimination of toluene was followed up in 11 subjects. The toluene concentration in venous blood decreased non-linearly and the elimination curves contained at least three exponential components. The first two had median estimated half times of nine minutes and two hours respectively. The third component, with a median half time of 90 hours, reflected the decline in adipose tissue, which had a median half time of 79 hours (range 44-178). The study showed protracted endogenous toluene exposure from adipose tissue depots long after the end of exogenous exposure. The observations also suggest that the blood toluene concentrations on Monday mornings might be used as an index of the exposure in the previous week.

Studies quantifying oral absorption of toluene are limited but have demonstrated nearly 100% absorption following a single oral exposure. In volunteers exposed to an infusion of 2 mg toluene/minute for 3 hours (~5 mg/kg) via a gastric tube, absorption of toluene, measured by monitoring exhaled air for toluene and urine for toluene metabolites, was found to be complete. /Another study/ reported that greater than 99% of a single gavage dose of radiolabeled toluene in rats was eliminated in the urine or expired air, indicating near-total absorption of the exposure dose.

Toluene is well metabolized, but a portion is exhaled unchanged. Hepatic P450s catalyze metabolism of toluene primarily to benzyl alcohol and lesser amounts of cresols. Benzyl alcohol is converted by ADH and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to benzoic acid, which is primarily conjugated with glycine and eliminated in the urine as hippuric acid.
Klaassen, C.D. (ed). Casarett and Doull's Toxicology. The Basic Science of Poisons. 7th ed. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, 2008., p. 1010
Toluene is metabolized to benzoic acid, followed by hepatic cytochrome P-450 catalyzed glycine conjugation to form hippuric acid. Approximately 75% to 80% of the absorbed toluene is metabolized to benzoic acid, and 62% to 72% is eliminated by humans in the urine as hippuric acid. As the amount of absorbed toluene is increased, the relative importance of the glucuronide conjugated increased. Relatively small amounts appear in urine as the o-cresol (0.12%-0.43%) and p-cresol where they occur as glucuronide and sulfate derivatives. Less than 2% of the absorbed toluene is eliminated in feces.

In rats, approx 0.5%-1.1% of the dose is converted to o-cresol and p-cresol and is excreted as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.

In mammalian species, acidic metabolites are conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acid and phenylacetic acid. In humans, the phenylacetic acid metabolite is also conjugated with glutamine to form phenacetylglutamine.

In mice, toluene is eliminated from alveolar air with a biologic half-life of 2.6 hours; elimination from blood and brain occurs with a half-life of 1 hour. In rats, the mean half-time for toluene uptake from air at 1000 to 3000 ppm was 34 minutes and the half-times for the rapid and slow elimination phases were 6 and 90 minutes, respectively. Alveolar and circulating toluene concentrations decrease as a direct function of respiratory and cardiac rates after exposure ceases. The elimination half-time for toluene from human tissue is 0.5 to 2.7 days after inhaling 70 ppm for 2 hours.

The present study demonstrates reductions of dopamine (DA) turnover in various areas of the anterior nucleus caudate of rat by toluene at concentrations lower than the current OSHA threshold limit value (100 ppm). Thus, toluene at low concentrations may produce disturbances in dopaminergic mechanisms of the basal ganglia probably leading to functional changes in sensory-motor integration. The increases in DA turnover in the cholecystokinin (CCK)-DA terminals of the subcortical limbic system induced by high concentrations of toluene may be part of the neurochemical basis for its abuse as a euphoric agent in man.

Exposure to toluene causes both reversible and irreversible changes in the central nervous system. The effects of toluene inhalation on some specific enzymes and glutamate and GABA receptor binding in defined parts of the rat brain were studied following several exposure schemes. The activities of the transmitter synthesizing enzymes glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and aromatic amino-acid decarboxylase (AAD) were used as markers for permanent loss of neuronal activity. Catecholaminergic neurons showed a 50% reduction in the brain stem after 4 weeks exposure to 250 and 1000 ppm toluene. Following 500 ppm of toluene, 16 hr/day for 3 months, a general increase in the activities was seen. This is most probably due to a reduction in total protein content, to which the activities were related. The neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA had their specific receptor binding increased in most of the brain areas studied, but decreased in some areas. The glial enzyme, glutamine synthetase, has its activity increased in the cerebellar hemisphere following 4 weeks exposure to 1000 ppm. This suggests that glial cells in the area may have proliferated, a frequent phenomenon following CNS damage.

The effect on energetic metabolism of rat liver mitochondria (RLM) of styrene and other aliphatic benzene derivatives, i.e. toluene, ethylbenzene, alpha-methylstyrene and butylbenzene, is studied. It is shown that these compounds uncouple oxidative phosphorylation and this effect is connected with the stimulation of passive entry of protons into mitochondria. The relationship between hydrophobicity of these compounds and their biological activity and mechanism of uncoupling effect are discussed.
