Acute Toxicity of a Number of Chemicals of Interest to the Air Force
Abstract
A series of 20 chemical compounds used by the Air Force were evaluated for acute toxicity effects to establish safe handling guidelines. Skin sensitization potential, irritation effects and LD(50) doses were determined for most of these materials. Of the compounds tested, nonyl phenol caused a skin sensitization reaction in 18 of 20 animals dosed and 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone which did not sensitize many animals, produced a very severe reaction in those affected.
