Acute rabbit experiments have revealed furfural photodynamic characteristics. Photoprotective cream used to protect the skin from UV exposure could to a certain measure reduce the level of the photodynamic reaction developing in combined exposure to furfural and UV light. These data are recommended to be borne in mind when designing prophylactic measures.
