Hepatotoxins occupational exposure

Environmental Hepatotoxins and Associated Occupations at Risk for Exposure... 

Occupationally, liver injury is most likely to occur following exposure to vapors of volatile halogenated hydrocarbons (such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and bromobenzene), which may enter the bloodstream via the pulmonary route. However, hepatotoxins may enter the gastrointestinal tract, and hence the liver, in the form of fine particles. They are inhaled, then expelled from the bronchi or trachea into the oral cavity, and swallowed with saliva.
