Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
A single semi-occlusive application of Ammonium Molybdate to intact rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation.
The overall irritation index after 4 days of observation was 0.0.
Hence, Ammonium molybdate can be considered not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the irritation potential of ammonium molybdate. The study was conducted as per OECD 404 Guidelines.

0.5 gm of test chemical was applied to the dorso-lumbar region exposing an area of skin approximately 10 cm square under 2.5 cm square gauze pad moistened with 0.5 ml distilled water to one intact skin site of 6 female New Zealand White rabbits.Each treatment site was occluded with Elastoplast elastic adhesive dressing for a four hour period.At the end of the exposure period, the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and washed and animal were scored in accordance with edema erythema formation.Examination of the treated skin was made on Day 1 (i.e. approximately 30 minutes after removal of the patches) andon Days 2, 3 and 4.There was no response to treatment in any animal throughout the observation period.A single semi-occlusive application of Ammonium Molybdate to intact

rabbit skin for four hours elicited no dermal irritation.

The overall irritation index after 4 days of observation was 0.0.Hence, Ammonium molybdate can be considered not irritating to skin.
