| Abstract |
Apart from one occupational medical report indicating a possible sensitizing effect of 4-nitrophenol, there is no information available on the effects of o-nitrophenol or 4-nitrophenol in humans. Animal studies indicate that both substances may be absorbed through the skin and both are slight irritants. No genotoxic, carcinogenic or toxic reproductive effects have been observed for 4-nitrophenol; no mutagenic effects have been observed for 2-nitrophenol; studies on carcinogenicity and reproduction toxicity are not available. |
