Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, turpentine was considered to be a strong sensitizer (Grade 4) in humans.
- Executive summary:
In a study performed to assess the contact sensitization potential of turpentine by maximization test in humans, panels of 25 healthy adult male Negroes were induced with five exposures of dermal dose of 50% of turpentine in petrolatum for 48 hours using an occlusive patch followed by challenge dose of 20%. The challenge reaction was read immediately after removal of the 48 hour patch and again in another two days. An evident erythema was considered a minimum positive response. Sensitization potential was rated according to grading system as described in report,
A total of 18 out of 25 subjects showed positive reaction to sensitization during the study.
Under the test conditions, turpentine was considered to be a strong sensitizer (Grade 4) in humans.
