| Abstract |
The acute intraperitoneal LD50 values of hydroxynonachlorodiphenyl ethers (HNDPE), contaminants of technical pentachlorophenol (PCP) wood preservative, were determined in mice and compared with those of PCP and Triclosan, a commonly used bactericide. The acute toxicity decreased in the order 2-hydroxynonachlorodiphenyl ether, PCP, 3-hydroxynonachlorodiphenyl ether, 4-hydroxynonachlorodiphenyl ether, Triclosan. Symptomatology following exposure to HNDPE was similar to that observed for PCP. Technical PCP contains 1-5% of HNDPE which do not contribute significantly to its acute toxicity. |
