Title:

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: the solution was applied topically twice weekly throughout the growth, mating, gestation and foetal viability indices and body weights were evauated and these were compared with the values for the three concurrent control groups.
- Short description of test conditions: The generation F0 was exposed until they were 100 days old and after they were mated. The generation F1a were used in a carcainogenicity study. The generation F0 was re-mated and 20 mals and 20 female of the generation F1b were exposed untiil they were 100 days old and after ther were mated to produce the F2a and F2b generation. the F2b generation, after a selection, were mated to produce F3 generation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A multi-generation reproduction toxicity study was carried out by using a formulation containing 0.5% 1-Naphthol. Because of the poor study design (poor test substance, details of negative control group is not stated and a viral infection resulted in poor reproductive performance in all groups) the study it was considered to be of limited value only
