Abstract
Noakes, D. N., and Sanderson, D. M. (1969).Brit. J. industr. Med.,26, 59-64. A method for determining the dermal toxicity of pesticides. A method is described for the measurement of the percutaneous LD50 of a pesticide, using the laboratory rat as a test animal. The results obtained by this method on a selection of pesticide chemicals are tabulated and discussed. The reproducibility of the method was validated by a collaborative study with five other laboratories.
