INTRODUCTION
Du Pont HLR 784-88
__iBBHBHBIIH^BHfe. jurpose of this study was to evaluate the eye irritation potential This study was conducted according to the applicable EPA Good Laboratory Practice Regulations. Areas of
noncompilance are documented in the study records. No deviations existed
that significantly affected the validity of the study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Animal Husbandry
Young adult male New Zealand White rabbits were received from Hare Marland, Hewitt, New Jersey. The rabbits were housed singly in suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rabbit was assigned a unique identification number which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. Purina Certified High Fiber Rabbit Chow #5325 and water were available ad libltum. Rabbits were quarantined, weighed and observed for .general health for approximately 2 weeks. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer-controned, 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Environmental conditions of the rooms were targeted for a temperature of 20C ^_ 2C and relative humidity of 501 ^ 10%. Excursions outside these ranges were judged to have been of insufficient magnitude and/or duration to have adversely affected the validity of the study.
B. Protocol
On the day before study initiation, the eyes of 2 male New Zealand
White rabbits were examined using fluorescein dye. Animals showing
preexisting corneal or conjunctiva! injury or irritation were not used in
this study. The rabbits weighed 3029 and 3405 grams on the day of treatment.
introduced into the lower conjunctiva! sac of the right eyes of 2 male
New Zealand White rabbits. The left eyes served as controls. The
treated and control eyes of 1 animal remained unwashed. Approximately 20 seconds after the test material was administered, both eyes of the remaining animal were rinsed for 1 minute with lukewarm tap water. Approximately 1 and 4 hours and 1 2 and 3 days after treatments the
rabbits were examined for evidence of eye irritation.

At each observation the treated eyes were examined using Illumination and magnification and scored for ocular reactions using the Draizs scale
(presented In Table I). The untreated eye of each animal was also
examined and used for comparison. Any unusual effects, e.g., pannus, blistering of the conjunctiva, ulceratlon or other effects Indicative of
corrosive action were also noted. Fluorescein dye was used to evaluate
corneal ulceratlon and Irritation starting at the 1-day observation and at each subsequent observation. B1om1croscop1c examinations for corneal Injury were conducted at the 1-day observation and each subsequent
observation. Treated eyes were scored according to the system presented
in Table II.
C. Records Retention
All raw data and the final report will be stored in the archives of
Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, E. I. du Pont
de Nemours and Company, Inc., Newark, Delaware or In the Du Pont Records
Management Center, WHmington, Delaware.
