Cobalt naphthenate (1999)


Abstract


Cobalt naphthenate has induced allergic skin reactions in workers. It was a mild eye irritant in rabbits, and had a low acute oral toxicity in rats and a moderate-to-low acute dermal toxicity in rabbits. In mice, repeated injection resulted in tissue damage and tumour development at the site of injection. Cobalt naphthenate was not mutagenic to bacteria in Ames tests.


Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals. They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
