(Based on studies with the pyrrolidone)(Based on results on guinea-pigs)Neither Fluazuron technical nor N-(N-octyl)-2- pyrrolidone induced sensitisation onguinea pig and human skin, respectively, but N-(Ndodecyl)-2- pyrrolidone showeddelayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea pigs.Ingestion is likely to cause smarting and burning sensations, inflammation, burns andpainful blisters of the mouth, throat and digestive tract. Exposure by inhalation isunlikely but the effects would be irritation of mucous membranes, nose, eyes andthroat, coughing and difficulty in breathing.
