[Criteria for classifying chemical substances according to toxicity: carcinogens, irritants, corrosives, allergens, fetotoxins and those absorbed through the skin].

The authors reviewed and presented the criteria used to classify the toxic effects of chemicals such as carcinogenic, irritation, corrosive, allergic, and fetotoxicity, as well as dermal absorption of chemical agents. The criteria for assigning symbols to the Polish list of chemical MAC values has not as yet been determined. Following the analysis it may be concluded that all chemical compounds, which satisfy the requirements should be indexed on the MAC list.
