Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellent AI3-36469, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Compound, May 1976-March 1980.

Abstract

A preliminary hazard evaluation of AI3-36469 was performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The technical grade compound did not cause direct or photoactivated skin irritation, nor eye irritation, and was not acutely toxic by ingestion. It did, however, sensitize two of nine guinea pigs. This potential for human skin sensitization resulted in a recommendation to disapprove further testing with this candidate insect repellent. (Author)
