Development of an observational exposure human biomonitoring study to assess Canadian children’s DEET exposure during protective use

PLoS ONE, 2022
Biomonitoring data of N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) in children is scarce and limited to controlled exposure and surveillance studies. We conducted a 24-hour observational exposure and human biomonitoring study designed to estimate use of and ...

Evaluation of the chronic toxicity and oncogenicity of N,N-diethyl-m- toluamide (DEET) [PDF]

Toxicological Sciences, 1999
Chronic toxicity and/or oncogenicity studies were conducted in rats, mice, and dogs with the insect repellent DEET. DEET was mixed in the diet and administered to CD rats for two years at concentrations that corresponded to dosage levels of 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg/day for males and 30, 100, or 400 mg/kg/day for females; to CD-1 mice for 18 months at dosage

West Nile Virus in British Columbia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We investigated personal protective behaviors against West Nile virus infection. Barriers to adopting these behaviors were identified, including the perception that DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide and related compounds) is a health and environmental hazard.
