Title Hygienic evaluation of dibutyltin bis(trifluoroacetate)
Original title Gigieničeskaja ocenka dibutilditriftoracetatolova [in Russian]
Bibliographic information July 1981, No.7, p.18-19. 4 ref.
Abstract The toxicity of dibutyl di(trifluoroacetate)tin (DBDTT) was determined in acute, subacute, and chronic experiments. Its LD50 was: 53.65 mg/kg for mice, 80.0 mg/kg for male rats, 55.0 mg/kg for female rats, 41.1 mg/kg for newborn rats, and 180.0 mg/kg for rabbits. DBDTT is absorbed by the skin, irritates the mucosa of the eye, and is a cumulative poison. In subacute experiments, DBDTT produced several alterations in blood chemistry. Chronic inhalation experiments with 1mg/m3 DBDTT showed alterations in nervous system and liver function. A concentration of 0.1mg/m3h is apparently close to the threshold limit value.
