alpha-Phellandrene (1993)
Abstract
alpha-Phellandrene caused moderate irritation to the skin of rabbits. There was some evidence in man of skin sensitization to alpha-phelllandrene, possibly as a result of the presence of auto-oxidation products or impurities. In acute studies, alpha-phelllandrene was of low toxicity by the oral route in rats and by the dermal route in rabbits. Repeated applications to the skin of mice slightly enhanced the activity of a known skin carcinogen.
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.
