Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellents AI3-36693a, AI3-36701a, and AI3-3674a, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Compounds, October 1976 - April 1980.
Abstract
Preliminary hazard evaluations of AI3-36693a, AI3-36701a, and AI3-36746a were performed by means of laboratory animal studies using New Zealand White rabbits. The technical grade compounds caused moderate corneal and conjunctival injury in all animals, but no skin irritation. Based upon the ocular injuries, it was recommended that all three compounds not be approved for further testing as candidate insect repellents. If, however, any of these compounds provides a significant improvement of pest repellent properties over currently available compounds, it is suggested that they be purified through activated charcoal and resubmitted in their projected use formulation.
