Introduction. Historically, pesticides are evaluated more strictly from a medical point of view than other chemicals. Since their features, such as deliberate introduction into the environment, the possibility of contact with them by large masses of the population, and the high biological activity determine their potential danger to humans. Purpose of research - study of the biological effect of a technical product derived from triazoles when it is repeatedly ingested orally in mammals (rats), establishment of inactive and active doses, justification of the permissible daily dose (DSD) for humans. Material and methods. In acute experiments, white rats were used, including 6 animals in the group. Tested dose: 500-4000 mg/kg of body weight. A chronic (12 months) experiment was performed on 80 male rats with a bodyweight of 180-190 g at the beginning of the study. Tested doses: 5.0; 16.0 and 55.0 mg/kg of body weight (1 control and 3 experimental animals, 20 individuals each). In the dynamics of the experiment, we observed the condition and behavior of animals, water, and food consumption, recorded the timing of death, changes in body weight, physiological, biochemical, and hematological indices. Results. Indices of the acute oral toxicity on the studied product LD50 male rats were 2250 ± 483 mg/kg body weight. The dose of 5.0 mg / kg of body weight was not found to cause significant changes in all studied indices. The doses of 16.0 and 55.0 mg/kg of body weight had a polytropic effect on the body in experimental animals. Discussion. The studied product for the acute oral toxicity refers to low-hazard compounds, the doses of 16.0 and 55.0 mg/kg of body weight has a polytropic effect on the mammalian body, causing changes in carbohydrate, lipid, and lipoprotein metabolism in the body of rats - was accepted as acting. The dose of 5.0 mg / kg of body weight, when administered in rats, there are no changes in all the studied parameters throughout the experiment, is accepted as invalid. Based on the inactive dose-5.0 mg/kg of body weight and taking into account the reserve factor of 100, we have scientifically justified DSD for a person at the level of 0.05 mg/kg. Summary. The conducted sanitary and Toxicological studies indicate the need to assess the toxicity of new technical products to the mammalian body, to increase the reliability of the developed hygiene standards in environmental objects and food products.

Background and Objective: Present research work was designed and conducted to verify the safe use of kajal, a popular eye cosmetic, which is widely used to beautify eyes throughout the world especially in South Asia and Middle East region. Material and Method: The toxicological studies were conducted in experimental animals for a period of 90 days to clarify misleading thoughts associated with its long term use including lead toxicity. The study was carried out in Albino rats of Wister strain and New Zealand White rabbits. Hashmi kajal dibya (net weight 4.25g), an eye cosmetic manufactured by M/s A.Q. and company international Pakistan was used as source for study. The ingredients claimed by the manufacturer are zinc oxide, wax, cinnamonum camphora, processed carbon black and clarified butter. Result: The elemental analysis resulted in presence of zinc 9.56%, lead 0.09% and total ash 41.01%, while sulfur, antimony, mercury and arsenic were not detected in the sample. The sub-chronic toxicological studies revealed that no toxicological effects were found in experimental animals. All the animals of test and control groups exhibited normal physiological activities and an increase in body weights. Lead and Zinc levels remained constant throughout the experimental period and no mortality was recorded. Furthermore, liver and kidney function tests were normal, indicating non-toxic effect of the kajal on vital organs. Conclusion: So it can be assumed that this eye cosmetic is non-toxic and can be used safely in humans. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(1) 2019 p.118-123

Less than a quarter of all experimental animals in Europe are used in toxicological experiments, and most of these are performed by the pharmaceutical industry. Acute toxicity testing, mainly LD50 tests, accounts for a large proportion of toxicological studies. There are no defined animal numbers for special safety requirements in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). However, where the registration of chemical products in the FRG is concerned, numbers of animals used are documented.

The article presents the results of toxicological studies, investigated the cumulative properties of disinfectant Astradez Bioxy, as well as its effect on the body of experimental animals: white male rats and white mice. It has been established that disinfectant Astradez Bioxy is a moderately toxic compound (3rd hazard class), does not have a negative effect on the body of animals and can be used for disinfection in veterinary practice. According to the degree on human impact Astradez Bioxy belongs to the 4th class of low-hazard substances.

In vitro cell culture practices are valuable techniques to understand the mechanisms behind vital in vivo biological processes. In vitro cells have helped us to attain a deeper understanding of functions and mechanisms conserved in the course of evolution. Toxicology studies are inevitable in drug discovery, pesticide development, and many other fields that directly interact with human beings. The proper involvement and regulatory steps that have been taken by animal ethical societies in different parts of the world resulted in the reduced in vivo use of mammals in toxicological studies. Nevertheless, experimental animals are being killed where no replacement is available. The use of mammals could be reduced by using the in vitro systems. Nowadays, invertebrate cell lines are also play important role in toxicology testing. This review analyzes the cause and consequence of insect in vitro models in toxicology studies.
