The Department of Defense is considering the use of | |
either diethyleneglycol dinitrate (DEGDN), | |
triethyleneglycol dinitrate (TEGDN), or trimethylolethane | |
trinitrate (TMETN) as a replacement for nitroglycerin in | |
new propellant formulations. However, considerable gaps | |
in the toxicology data of the compounds were identified | |
during a review of their health effects (1) conducted for | |
the US Army Biomedical Research and Development | |
Laboratory (USABRDL). Consequently, USABRDL has tasked | |
the Division of Toxicology, Letterman Army Institute of | |
Research (LAIR), to conduct an initial health effects | |
evaluation of the proposed replacement nitrate esters. | |
Keywords: Dermal sensitization, Diethyleneglycol | |
dinitrate, DEGDN, Buehler test, Guinea pigs. | |
