Sodium N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate (1989)
Abstract
In guinea-pigs, sodium N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate was a skin irritant and has given some evidence of a weak sensitizing potential. It was of moderate acute oral toxicity in rodents and produced testes damage and nerve degeneration in chickens given repeated oral doses. There was evidence of mutagenicity in bacterial assays including the Ames test.
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.
