Details on results:
OTHER FINDINGS: The study authors reported that animals exposed to 1-octene exhibited questionable hyperaemia, exfoliation, and scab formation.
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Sex:
not specified
Basis for effect level:
other: Report only specified dermal irritation and results indicated questionable irritation.
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
no NOAEL identified
Critical effects observed:
not specified

The average results for the hyperaemia, exfoliation and scab formation were approximately 2, which fell into the study authors questionable grade. There was no difference in reaction between the abraded and intact animals.

Conclusions:
Using a graded scale of 1 to 6 (none to severe), treatment with 1-octene for 28 days (20 treatments) caused an average score of approximately 2 (considered questionable) for hyperaemia, exfoliation, and scab formation.
Executive summary:

In a 28-day dermal toxicity study, alpha olefin 8 was applied to the shaved skin of six New Zealand white rabbits (3 intact and 3 abraded) at a dose level of 0.2 millilitres for 5 days/week during a 28-day period.

 

The skin was ranked using a graded system by the study authors ranging from 1 (none) to 6 (severe). The average score for hyperaemia, exfoliation, and scab formation was approximately 2 (considered questionable). There were no other toxicity results reported. Therefore, no LOAEL or NOAEL were identified.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 4 and is classified as not assignable because this study only examined one dose level, and systemic toxicity was not evaluted.

This study was selected as a supporting study because there was only was dose level examined and systemic toxicity was not evaluated; however, the study contains relevant and useful information, allowing this study to qualify as a supporting study.
