Systemic Toxicity and Skin Irritation of Tolpa Peat Preparation

Abstract:

Systemic toxicity of the peat preparation in rats and rabbits was assessed. Skin irritation tests were conducted on rabbits. In acute and chronic toxicity studies TPP was well tolerated by both animal species. Laboratory findings revealed no hematological abnormalities or disturbances in liver and kidney functions. No local irritancy of TPP was found. The results show that TPP may be considered as practically non-toxic.
