Department of Transportation Dermal Test of Neutralized GB Hydrolysate in Rabbits

Abstract

The Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives Branch was tasked with the destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles at the Blue Grass Army Depot, Kentucky. This study addressed the dermal hazard of pH adjusted neutralized GB hydrolysate since the material may be transported off-site. The material does not warrant being classified as a "Class 5, Division 6.1 Poison". The neutralized GB hydrolysate produced erythema and edema with a Primary Irritation Score of 4.54. This material is considered a moderate skin irritant.
