The results of the fundamental experiments for the antibacterial activity of PCP mixed in the insoles of canvas shoes made in a rubber industry are summarized as follows:As for antibacterial activity for saprophytes, sodium pentachlorophenate was the strongest, that is, the insole containing 0.6% of it in the rubber part and 2.1% in the rubber cement part was sufficiently effective, while the materials containing the same dense lindane showed uncertain antibacterial activity for saprophytes; it was thought that the water-insolubility of lindane itself was one of the causes.When the materials were exposed in the direct sunlight for six hours, only sodium salt of PCP had the antibacterial action for saprophytes; lindane, which had considerably higher volatility than PCP, decreased its effects, yet had antibacterial action compared with other materials containing no chemicals.The residual effects of the chemicals, after continuous washing of the 10 mm diameter circularly cut insoles as the materials, was examined, and it was found that the antibacterial action of the sodium pentachlorophenate and lindane remained in 6 to 48 hours' washing, but over 96 hours, both chemicals did not prevent the growth of bacteria and showed the disappearance and decrease of the effects by the washing. This was because the materials containing the chemicals, 0.6% in the rubber part and 2.1% rubber cement part, were cut into a piece of 10 mm diameter and were washed continuously, then the chemicals were drawn out.When the materials, rubber-soled tabi (socks) containing the sodium pentachlorophenate, 2.0% in the rubber part and 2.1% in the rubber cement part, were worn practically for 55 days and washed every other week, a total five times, the perfect antibacterial activity was held.Comparing the effects of sodium salt with calcium salt of PCP, the materials which contained respectively each chemical, 1.0% in the rubber part and 2.1% in the rubber cement, showed the perfect antibacterial effect and the difference of effects between them were not distinguished.In the fungicidal activity test for trichophyton, by the above-mentioned methods of testing, only sodium pentachlorophenate showed considerable effect, and was known to have expanding penetration into its circumference and its fungicidal action for trichophyton was ascertained.The toxicity of the chemical mixed into the insoles of canvas shoes for human body was to be examined and discussed. The Na-PCP contents in the insoles of 10 Mon sized canvas shoes are shown in the table.Accordingly, if a person of at least 40 kg weight wears 10 mon-sized canvas shoes and all the quantity of 0.218g in the rubber cement and the canvas enters the body through the skin at one time, this quantity will be equivalent to about 5.5mg/kg. As for the toxicity of pentachlorophenol, there has been a lot of study in the past<SUP>46)-52)</SUP>. According to them, in the animal tests, the percutaneous lethal dose of Na-PCP water solution for a rabbit was to be 260mg/kg. Then, examining the quantity of Na-PCP per 1kg weight of person, though it was unreasonable to set a standard by the lethal dose of a rabbit, supposed this lethal dose was in proportion to the human body, 5.5 mg/kg were equivalent to about 1/50 of that lethal dose and considerably far from the lethal dose. Practically, however, it was not thought that the whole quantity of Na-PCP in the rubber cement and the canvas entered the body at one time, accordingly the above-mentioned case could not be supposed.By the studies of several research workers in the past, if the highly concentrated solution of Na-PCP was administered on the skin for a long time, it was reported that a skin inflammation was caused, but practically, our laboratory members and women assistant research workers, a total of eight, wore the canvas shoes containing Na-PCP for about five months and the effects for the skin had been examined, no abnormality or side reaction were
