Resumen Conclusions of this criteria document which reflects the state of knowledge as of September 2004: 3,7-dimethyloctane-3-ol is of low acute toxicity. Eight-hour exposure to an atmosphere enriched with 3,7-dimethyloctane-3-ol does not cause symptoms of poisoning in rats. The oral and dermal LD50 in rats is higher than 200 mg/kg. Symptoms of poisoning after oral uptake are dyspnoea, apathy, lateral position, staggering, atony, narcotic condition with an absence of pain and corneal reflexes, a spastic gait, diarrhoea, salivation and lacrimation. In rabbits, 3,7-dimethyloctane-3-ol causes slight-to-moderate irritation to the skin and moderate irritation to the eye. In the maximization test in humans, a 4 % solution does not cause irritation or sensitization after 48-hour occlusive application. 3,7-Dimethyloctane-3-ol is not mutagenic in the mutagenicity test with various Salmonella typhimurium strains and V79 cells. It does not cause chromosome aberrations in V79 cells. Studies on the carcinogenic potential of 3,7-dimethyloctane-3-ol are not available. Other findings are discussed.
