Toxicity Profile for Zinc naphthenate (1999)
Abstract
Zinc naphthenate was an eye irritant in rabbits and a skin irritant in rabbits and guinea pigs. Low acute toxicity was shown in rats treated orally and in rabbits exposed dermally. Repeated dermal treatment caused liver changes in rabbits. Oral administration to rats had no effect on fertility, though treatment during pregnancy produced foetal toxicity at a dose level that was also maternally toxic.
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.
