Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) was considered to be >5000 mg/ m3 (>5 mg/L) when rats were exposed with Anisol (100-66-3) by inhalation route.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using Anisol (100-66-3) in rats at the concentration of 5000 mg/m3 inhaled as a Single dose. No mortality was observed at 5000 mg/m3. Therefore, LC50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/ m3 (>5 mg/L) when rats were exposed with Anisol (100-66-3) by inhalation route.
