Topical Hazard Evaluation Program of Candidate Insect Repellent AI3-35905-a, US Department of Agriculture Proprietary Compound.

Abstract : A preliminary hazard evaluation of AI3-35905-a was performed by means of laboratory animal studies using rats, rabits and guinea pigs. The technical grade compound did not produce eye or skin irritation, or cause a photochemical irritation in rabbits, did not sensitize guinea pigs and did not demonstrate an acute ingestion hazard. It was recommended that AI3-35905-a be approved for further testing as a candidate insect repellent. (Author)
