Executive summary:

This guinea pig study was carried out to evaluate the Primary Irritation and Skin Sensitization of Monuron. A 33% water paste of monuron was applied to both intact and abraded skin of male albino guinea pigs. The compound was practically non irritating and did not cause allergic skin sensitization. No further details were given on such parameters as numbers used or period of experimentation. The author concluded that a moderate amount of skin contact with Monuron would not be harmful because it is not an irritant or a sensitizer, nor is it significantly absorbed through the skin (Zapp, 1955) .
