Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellent AI3-33573-b, Butyl Decanoate, March 1976 - July 1977.

Abstract

A preliminary hazard evaluation of AI3-33573-b was performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The technical grade compound did not produce skin or eye irritation or photochemical irritation in rabbits, did not sensitize guinea pigs and did not demonstrate an acute ingestion hazard. It is recommended that AI3-33573-b, butyl decanoate, be approved for further testing as a candidate insect repellent. (Author)
