Toxicity Profile for Valeraldehyde (1988)
Abstract
Valeraldehyde has caused skin irritation in humans and was a skin and eye irritant in laboratory animals. A volunteer study generated no evidence of skin sensitizing potential. In various species it was of low acute oral or dermal toxicity. Lung damage was the main effect of a single high exposure to an aerosol. Valeraldehyde caused chromosomal and DNA effects in mammalian cells in culture but was not mutagenic in an Ames bacterial test.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
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.
