An evaluation of toxicity by injection of the chemical into the yolk sac of fertile eggs prior to incubation gave the following results:
Water, propylene glycol, corn oil, peanut oil, isotonic saline solution, and isotonic glucose solution showed no toxicity or a very low order of toxicity.
Mercuric chloride, lead acetate, selenium, triorthocresyl phosphate, p,p′-diamino-diphenylmethane, thiourea, Aroclor 1242, and dibutyl-tin-dilaurate showed a high order of toxicity and/or teratogenic effects at certain levels.
Acetone, methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, hydrochloric acid, carbon tetrachloride, ethyl acetate, malathion, heptachlor, and styrene showed an intermediate order of toxicity.
