Triacontanol (1997)
Abstract
1-Triacontanol caused severe eye irritation in rabbits but was not a skin irritant. Acute toxicity was low in oral studies using rats and in dermal studies using rabbits. When administered by intraperitoneal injection, 1-triacontanol affected the spleen and thymus of mice and suppressed the function of cells involved in the inflammatory response. 1-Triacontanol was not mutagenic in an Ames bacterial test but induced chromosomal damage in an alga.
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.
