| Abstract |
2-Nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol are used as intermediates in the synthesis of a number of organophosphorus pesticides and some medical products. 2-Nitrophenol is slightly irritant to the skin. In acute toxicity studies on animals 4-nitrophenol was found to be more toxic than 2-nitrophenol. Workers may be exposed to 2- and 4-nitrophenol via inhalation and skin contact. Animal tests showed no carcinogenic effects nor significant reproductive effects. The appropriate International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) is given. Summaries in French and in Spanish. |
