    Toluene is one of well-known neuro-toxicants. It can readily cross the blood-brain-barrier and mainly affect the central nervous system (CNS). An inhalation is the typical route of its human exposure and show a variety of symptoms involving cerebral and cerebellar dysfunction, bronchial asthma, chemical pneumonitis, toxic hepatitis, renal tubular acidosis, intestinal obstruction, and myelo-dysplastic syndrome.
