Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellents AI3-37575 and AI3-37576, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemicals, October 1978 - January 1981.

Abstract

Preliminary hazard evaluations of A13-37575 and A13-37576 were performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rates, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The technical-grade chemicals have the potential to cause mild injury to the cornea, and some damage to the conjunctiva. However neither demonstrated potential for causing skin or photochemical irritation, did not sensitize guinea pigs, and did not indicate an acute ingestion hazard. It was recommended that both compounds be approved for further testing as candidate insect repellents. (Author)
