Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellents AI3-37432a, AI3-20827c, AI3-37435a, AI3-37444a, AI3-37446a and AI3-34960b. US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemicals.

Abstract

Hazard evaluations of candidate insect repellents AI3-37432a, AI3-20827c, AI3-37435a, AI3-37444a, AI3-37446a, and AI3-34960b were performed by means of laboratory studies using New Zealand White rabbits. The technical grade compounds caused severe corneal and conjunctival irritation. Compounds AI3-37432a, AI3-37435a, AI3-37446a, and AI3-34960b were particularly severe, causing corneal damage which persisted at 7 days in all rabbits. (Author)
