Toxicity Profile for Nonanal (1994)
Abstract
Nonanal was of low acute toxicity in rats treated orally and in rabbits treated dermally. There were no signs of toxicity in a very limited study in which rats were given repeated oral doses. It was a severe irritant to rabbit skin and one case of allergic contact dermatitis has been reported in a woman. Nonanal was mutagenic to hamster cells and caused chromosomal effects in rat cells, although it was inactive in other mammalian cell culture systems. It was non-mutagenic in Ames bacterial tests.
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.
