Abstract:
Acute toxic effects induced by ingestion or injection of different ionic (cationic, amphoteric, anionic and nonionic) surfactants and disinfectants (chlorhexidine, CHX) in rats were investigated comparatively. The results revealed that the toxic effects varied from one type of surfactant or disinfectant to another, and with the route of administration. Different kinetic properties between benzalkonium chloride, cationic surfactant used as disinfectant, and CHX were observed. The overall toxic ranks could be: cationic surfactant/ CHX 〉 anionic/ amphoteric surfactant 〉 nonionic surfactant.
