Abstract

The German Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has evaluated isobornyl acrylate [5888‐33‐5] considering its skin and respiratory sensitizing potential.

There are several cases of contact sensitization in humans and the results were clearly exposure‐related. A positive result in a local lymph node assay confirms that the substance is a skin sensitizer. Data for sensitization of the airways are not available. Isobornyl acrylate is designated with “Sh”.
