Bibliographic information 1977, Vol.21, No.3, p.244-249. 14 ref.
Abstract No irritation was observed after scarification of the skin and application of Gramoxone in concentrations up to 1%. Higher concentrations and intracutaneous administration of 0.5% Gramoxone caused lesions. Gramoxone is not a contact allergen, but can provoke allergy in workers presenting microtrauma of the hands.
