As you are aware, chlorinated naphthalenes can produce a dsrn&tltie condition known as chloracne, in addition to eigne of systemic toxicity. Z can find no specific reference to whether or not balogenafced methyl naphthalenes also would produce chloracne. In a discussion on chlorinated oils* Batty {lad. Hyg, & Toxicol. vol. IX, rev. ed., 1962) makes brief reference 0 2 types of "* cutting oils* including one type which "has chlorine combined in complex organic structure". He concludes his corsasents by saying "Dermatitis from chlorinated oils also occurs. On the basis of the preceding remarks, and due to the structural relationship between naphthalene and methyl naphthalene, we have to assume that a halogsn&ted methyl naphthalene will produce chloracne. He would be kidding ourselves if we reached any other conclusion. /: V OS\N 219828 STLCOPCB4053334
