Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
13 cases of contact eczema following exposure to trimethylhydroquinone were reported from a chemical firm's medical department during a period of 23 years (1967-1990). It was possible to identify sensitization in 1of 3 employees in which epicutaneous testing was carried out (1 % trimethylhydroquinone in Vaseline). Contact dermatitis was identified in one additional employee by means of sample excision. There have been no cases observed of impairment in lung function following exposure to trimethylhydroquinone.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
