Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 hour after application, swelling and conjunctival injections as well as secretion (clear, tinted by the test substance) were observed in all animals. At 24, 48 and 72 hours, conjunctivitis and diffuse corneal opacities were found. One animal showed iritis at 24 and 48 hours. 7 days after the application, corneal vascularization was observed in all animals. The chemical may serious eye damage

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test material 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS No: 92-70-6) was considered to be irritating to rabbits’ eye with the risk of serious eye damage.
Executive summary:

An ocular irritation test of 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS No: 92-70-6) was conducted on rabbits to assess its irritation potential in accordance with OECD Guide-line 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion".

 

During the test, about 100mg of (0.1ml) of chemical was was moistened with Polyethylene Glycol 400 was installed into the eye of each of three rabbits for 24 hours and later eyes were rinsed.

 

Theeyes were examined after 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and on day 7 and 14 after application according to Driaze method.One hour after application, swelling and conjunctival injections as well as secretion (clear, tinted by the test substance) were observed in all animals. At 24, 48 and 72 hours, conjunctivitis and diffuse corneal opacities were found. One animal showed iritis at 24 and 48 hours. 7 days after the application, corneal vascularization was observed in all animals.

 

The Draize score was 1.1 out of a maximum of 4 for corneal opacity, 0.2 out of 2 for iritis, 1.9 out of 3 for conjunctivitis, and 1.3 out of 4 for conjunctival curling.

 

Therefore on the basis of observations and mean scores, the chemical3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS No: 92-70-6)was considered to be irritating to rabbits’ eye with the risk of serious eye damage.
