Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellents AI3-36340-a, AI3-35941-a, AI3-31418-a, AI3-37331-a, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Chemicals, September 1976 - December 1980.

Abstract

Preliminary hazard evaluations of AI3-36340-a, AI3-35941-a, AI3-37418-a, and AI3-37331-a, USDA Proprietary Chemicals, were performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The technical grade compounds did not cause primary irritation of the skin or eye, and were not photoirritants. They did not prove to be skin sensitizers or to be acutely toxic by ingestion. It was recommended that the four chemicals be approved for further testing as candidate insect repellents. (Author)
