Results and discussion

Signs and symptoms of toxicity:
yes
Absorption in different matrices:
m-toluidiend was detected in the blood plasma of rats after dermal application. The plasma level correlated with the dose level (no further informatrion).
Methemoglobin concentrations up to 40 % were detected in the blood of rats after dermal exposure (2.5-12.5 mg/ml) for 2-6 hours (no further details available).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
