90-Day Feeding Study in Rats with Chemical Decontaminant DS-2

Abstract

A 90-day feeding study was performed with rats to determine the oral toxicity od the Chemical Decontaminant DS-2. Results of this testing indicated severe toxicity at the levels tested, producers death, severe weight loss, reproductive and lung pathology and organ-to-body weight ratios. Recommendations provide for wearing of protective equipment when handling DS-2 following decontamination procedures and development of sampling strategies for determining residual levels at DS-2.
