Acute and subacute toxicology and safety evaluation was determined for hexahydro-1,3,5-triethyl-s-triazine (Vancide-TH), a bacteriostatic and fungiastatic agent proposed for industrial use by R. T. Vanderbilt and Co., Inc. Single dose oral toxicity, subacute 14 day dermal toxicity and eye irritation studies were conducted on either the rat or the rabbit. The data obtained indicate that Vancide-TH should be classified as a "toxic, corrosive and an eye-irritating" substance as defined under the "Regulations" of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Since the acute dermal LD50 closely approximated the acute oral LD50 in rats, this route might constitute the most serious hazard involved with V-TH and special precautions should be exercised when handling or using this substance. Because of the severe eye-irritating action, precautions should be taken to protect the eyes when handling or using the compound; the ocular damage produced may be irreversible. The "in use" concentrations (1,000 to 10,000 ppm) produced a much lesser toxocity in animals and could be without hazard if precautions are taken.
