Primary Dermal Irritation Potential of Components of the M-258A-1 Decontamination Kit (Study 4).

Abstract

The primary 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 as they are intended to be applied under field conditions. Approximately 0.03 to 0.1 g of test substance was applied per dose site. Decon I and Decon I and II when applied together, caused moderate irritation after exposure and occlusion for 24 hours. Decon II caused mild irritation after exposure and occlusion for 24 hours.
