- Naphthalene Mothballs: Emerging and Recurring Issues and their . . .
This review article describes recurring and emerging environmental health issues relating to mothballs containing naphthalene The toxicology and health effects of naphthalene exposure are reviewed, with discussion of high-risk populations and risk mitigation strategies
- Is Moth Balls Same As Naphthalene? The Surprising Truth Revealed
