Primary Dermal Irritation Potential of Components of the M-258A-1 Decontamination Kit (Study 3).

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 approximately 0.04 g of freshly prepared material to be held in contact with the skin of rabbits for 24 hr. Both components, Decon I and Decon II when applied separately and together, caused little irritation after exposure for 24 hr. Further testing of these components is recommended to determine if they present a significant hazard under field conditions. (Author)
