Abstract
Investigations of the influence of environmental factors on organisms are made nowadays on an interdisciplinary level. We do not wish to deal here with the acutely toxic nature of certain herbicidal compounds, nor with the symptoms of their toxicity and sensitization appearing on the skin; rather their damaging influence on the metabolismespecially on the porphyrin metabolism — is to be briefly discussed, an area on which very little literature is available.
