Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellents AI3-37579 and AI3-37580, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemicals.

Abstract

Preliminary hazard evaluations of AI3-3o7579 and AI3-37580 were performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Chemical AI3-37579 produced a mild primary skin irritation while AI3-37580 produced no primary skin irritation. However, neither chemical demonstrated potential to cause eye or photochemical irritation to sensitive guinea pigs or demonstrate an acute ingestion hazard. It was recommended that AI3-37579 and AI3-37580 be approved for further testings as candidate insect repellents. (Author)
