[Morphological skin changes in the action of complex mineral fertilizers]

Experimental study of the skin structure in exposure to mineral fertilizers (ammophos, nitroammophos) was carried out. Saturated solutions of fertilizers were applied to intact and scarified free of hair skin of the back of guinea pigs. Skin structure changes were more significant when the fertilizers were applied to scarified skin. The findings evidence the injurious toxic effects of mineral fertilizers on cellular structural components.
