Results and discussion

Basis for effect level:

Remarks on result:
not measured/tested

Any other information on results incl. tables

Four to 6 times repeated 24-hr occlusive exposure to 0.3 ml isobutanol caused severe edema and erythema with eschar formation, which persisted throughout the 72-hr post-observation period. Isobutanol was therefore judged to be "highly irritant”.
