Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour post-instillation all animals had grade 1 conjunctival redness, and 2/3 animals had grade 1 conjunctival chemosis. Ocular discharge was noted in all animals one hour after instillation. There were no signs of irritation at any other time point. There were no effects on the cornea and iris.
Other effects:
No signs of systemic toxicity were observed.

Conclusions:
In a good quality eye irritation study (reliability score 1) conducted according to OECD test guideline 405, and GLP, Crude Tall Oil was not irritating to the eyes of New Zealand white rabbits.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Crude Tall Oil based on analogue read across.

 

Read-across from CTO to DTO is justified on the grounds that all the chemical constituents that are present in DTO are present in CTO i.e. fatty acids, resin acids, polymers and neutral compounds containing alcohols, hydrocarbons etc. The chemical constituent blocks of which they are comprised are compositionally very similar and are made up of constituents with common functional groups and properties. As a result the substances share very similar physicochemical properties both in terms of their bulk properties and the properties of the constituent blocks. CTO does contain some constituents that are not present in DTO and for this reason read-across from DTO to CTO is not considered appropriate. However for the purposes of read-across from CTO to DTO this is only likely to make the outcome conservative i.e. if anything the hazard of DTO is likely to be overestimated. A more detailed description of the technical justification for read-across is given in Section 1.4 of the CSR.

Crude Tall Oil (0.1 ml) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of three New Zealand white rabbits. The eyes were held closed for one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The untreated left eyes served as the controls. Both eyes were examined within 24 hours before the instillation, and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation. There were no deaths or signs of toxicity in any of the animals. The untreated eyes were normal at each observation. One hour post-instillation all animals had grade 1 conjunctival redness, and 2/3 animals had grade 1 conjunctival chemosis. Ocular discharge was noted in all animals one hour after instillation. There were no signs of irritation at any other time point. There were no effects on the cornea and iris. Crude Tall Oil was concluded not to be irritating to the eyes.
