Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: No classification needed
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
LC50 (rat, 4h) exceeded 2.75 +/- 0.19 mg/L the maximum attainable concentration
Executive summary:

In an acute inhalation toxicity study according to OECD guideline 403 a group of 5 rats per sex was exposed to an aerosol concentration of 2.75 +/-0.19 mg/L air for 4h by the inhalation route. No adverse effects were noted, no clinical signs, no effects on body weight and no adverse findings at final necropsy after a 14 days observation period. It was noted that the MMAD was slight above 4 micron whereas 1 -4 micron is required.

The LC50(rat, dermal) exceeded 2.75 +/- 0.19 mg/L air.
