Objective: To investigate Acute, Sub-acute dermal toxicity, Mucus membrane irritation activity of Anuradha Oil’s (AO and AO11) – An herbal formulation having wound healing potential. Methods: The formulations were derived from Curcuma longa Linn and Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn rhizhomes, Hamiltonia suaveolens Roxb bark, Typha angustifolia Linn flowers, Azadirachta indica A. Juss leaves without/with...

Acacia concinna is abundantly available in southern Asian rainforests. The fruits of this plant were employed as cleansing agents various herbal shampoos and used an expectorant traditional treatment. pods contain acacic acid based saponins. holds the surfactant property due to presence saponins it ideal use skin transdermal preparations. However, details dermal toxicity are still not reported....

hazardous chemicals may enter the body by inhalation, ingestion, injection or dermal absorption. these exposure routes constitute the overall exposure burden on the body. most occupational exposure studies have focused on measurement of the concentration of air-borne contaminants and other possible routes of exposure are often overlooked. several studies have already highlighted the importance ...

Studies carried out on the occupational exposure to paraquat of plantation workers in Malaysia comprised quantitative estimates of dermal and respiratory exposure of knapsack spray operators, carriers, and rubber tappers operating under their normal working conditions. Spray operators have been shown to be dermally exposed to paraquat by walking through recently sprayed vegetation and into thei...

Ethical and technical difficulties inherent to studies in human tissues are impeding assessment of the dermal bioavailability of brominated flame retardants (BFRs). This is further complicated by increasing restrictions on the use of animals in toxicity testing, and the uncertainties associated with extrapolating data from animal studies to humans due to inter-species variations. To overcome th...

Human toxicity Elemental selenium metal has a relatively low order of toxicity. Acute poisoning with selenium and its salts are rare, however, in excessive amount toxic and even fatal action was documented. Normal whole blood selenium levels in adults range from 0.085 to 0.13 mg/l [2]. All selenium salts can produce toxicity by ingestion, inhalation, and percutaneous absorption, although specif...
