In apply, nevertheless, the incidence of sensitization appears to be low. In animal studies, the toxicological results reported to be brought on by administration of resorcinol include thyroid dysfunction, irritation to skin and eyes, CNS results, and altered adrenal gland relative weights. After topical use of high concentrations of resorcinol, CNS disturbances, similar to dizziness,…

For the benthic and terrestrial compartments, the obtainable toxicity information can’t be thought to be enough for a quantitative threat characterization. However, these compartments are much less relevant for resorcinol, due to marginal releases and emissions to those compartments as well as a very low potential for adsorption of resorcinol to natural matter.Furthermore, persistent studies…
