REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: At the end of the exposure period excess AEEA was removed and the skin was rinsed with lutrol or a mixiture of water/lutrol (1:1) and dried  with pulp
- Skin reactions were examined and scored immediately after patch removal, and 1, 2, and 8 days thereafter

Necroses (full thickness) were confirmed by pathological examination of the skin after terminal sacrifice.
No signs of systemic toxicity were noted following either treatment.

Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study (BASF AG, Department of Toxicology, 1979) six Vienna White rabbits were dermally exposed to undiluted AEEA. The test site (intact dorsal skin) was covered with an occlusive dressing for 1 or 4 hours. Rabbits then were observed for 8 days. Irritations regarding erythema, edema and necrosis were scored and converted into the presently used numerical grading system according to the OECD system. AEEA exhibited a corrosive potential in this study, since the development of necrosis, which were not reversible within 8 days, were noted in both the 1-hour exposure group (1/4 animals) and the 4-hours exposure group (1/2 animals).

 

Mean scores 1-hour exposure (4 animals):

Erythema:        2.09 of max. 4

Edema:            1.33 of max. 4

 

Mean scores 4-hour exposure (2 animals):

Erythema:        3.00 of max. 4

Edema:           2.00 of max. 4
