| Abstract |
These reports are translations of reports finalized in October and December 1994. Main conclusions: animal studies indicate that diethanolamine is of moderate acute toxicity and causes severe irritation to the skin and eyes; effects on the kidneys and central nervous system have also been observed; epidemiologic studies on workers in contact with cutting oils containing diethanolamine indicated no increase in the mortality rate; triethanolamine causes slight skin irritation in man and may be a weak sensitizer; studies suggest that the substance has no carcinogenic potential. |
