Conclusions:
Acute dermal toxicity (LD50) of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in guinea pig was found to be 3000 mg/Kg. This value indicates that 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is not toxic to skin of guinea pig
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity (LD50) of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in guinea pig was found to be 3000 mg/Kg. This value suggests that 2-(2-chloroethoxy) ethanol is not toxic to skin of guinea pig. In order to classify the substance in dermal category the lethal dose should be in the range of less than 2000 mg/kg in normal condition.
