Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Reference do not give sufficient experimental details: longer exposure time than recommended by OECD 404, 2002; no details on test material, test animals and little information on administration

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The day before administration the eight albino rabbits were clipped over the entire trunk, care being taken to avoid cutting or abrading the skin. A single dose of 25g antimony trioxide dust incorporated in aqueous methylcellulose paste was applied to the denuded skin. The test site areas were about two-thirds of the animals`torso. They were covered by an impervious membrane (Vinylite). The test item was applied for one week. After exposure local skin reactions and signs of systemic toxicity were examined.
