Primary Dermal Irritation Potential of Components of the M-258A-1 Decontamination Kit (Study 2).

Abstract

The dermal irritation potential of components of the Prototype M-258A-1 Decontamination Kit was assessed by using a modified Draize test. The test called for applying the components to be wiped on the skin as they are intended to be applied under field conditions. Both components, Decon I and Decon II, when applied separately and together caused mild irritation after exposure and occlusion for 24 hr.
