Administrative data

Endpoint:
repeated dose toxicity: dermal
Remarks:
other: migrated dataset
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: special study and only one dose used, no dose-response relationship can be derived and thus no NOAEL or LOAEL can be deduced.

RS-Freetext:
Topical application caused depigmentation of the hair and pigmented epidermis, especially of the tail.  Large amounts of p-cresol were lethal and had a local caustic, 

erosive effect.
