In workers engaged in the manufacture of aryl phosphates (including<br />

TPP and up to 20% triorthocresyl phosphate) and exposed to concentrations<br />

of aryl phosphates of 0.2 to 3.4 mg/m 3 . There was some<br />

inhibition of plasma cholinesterase, but no correlation between this<br />

effect and the degree of exposure or minor gastrointestinal or neuromuscular<br />

symptoms [2].<br />

'HUPDO Contact dermatitis due to TPP has been described [10].<br />

Triphenyl phosphate was tested <strong>for</strong> mutagenicity in the Salmonella/microsome<br />

preincubation assay using a protocol approved by the<br />

National Toxicology Program. Triphenyl phosphate was tested at<br />

doses of 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 10,000 ug/plate in four Salmonella<br />

typhimurium strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537) in<br />

the presence and absence of Aroclor-induced rat or hamster liver S9.<br />

Triphenyl phosphate was negative in these tests, and the highest ineffective<br />

dose level tested (not causing the <strong>for</strong>mation of a precipitate)<br />

in any Salmonella tester strain was 1000 ug/plate. [2].<br />

♦4 AMES tests were negative [3] and WHO conclude that TPP is<br />

not mutagenic [10].<br />

One study concludes that TPP is not a development toxicant in rats<br />

[3].<br />

The NOAEL on mothers and offspring from a 90-day rat study was<br />

terminated at 690 mg/kg per day [10].<br />

TPP is poorly absorbed through the intact skin but readily through<br />

guinea pig skin [2].<br />

Application of TPP on skin of rats as well as application of TPP in<br />

ethanol solution on skin of mice caused no skin irritation which leads<br />

to the conclusion that since cholinesterase is not inhibited after<br />

application, there is no dermal absorption. [2].
