Abstract Translation of reports finalized in Oct.-Dec. 1991. Toxicological data provide no indication of a hazard potential associated with exposure to urea or isobutylidene diurea; irritation dermatitis and conjunctivitis have been reported following occupational exposure to urea. On the basis of acute toxicity data in animals, potassium amylxanthate and potassium isobutylxanthate are classified as harmful; direct contact with the skin causes burns. These latter two substances are no longer produced or used in Germany.
