Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
One hundered microliters of test solution containing 1-chloromethylnaphthalene, its derivates of methylnaphthalene or naphthalene, or an oinment of gentamycin sulfate were applied to a normal skin site and occluded for 48 hours. Concentrations of 0, 0,00001%, 0,0001%, 0,001% were used with naphtalene and its derivatives, the concentration of gentamycin sulfate is not given. 10 healthy voluteers and one person with previous exposure to 1-Chloromethylnaphthalene were investigated.
Only at the highest concentration the person with previous exposure to 1-CMN showed an erythema at the application site. Because of the lack of further data it is not clear whether the observed reaction is a consequence of an irritation or an sensibilisation or a toxic reaction of the skin.
