Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1973
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Secondary information from a study in rats, performed in 1973, taken from public TSCA8e submission file. Study was neither performed according to guidelines nor to GLP. However, test parameters documented are sufficient to use the study data in a supporting manner, since they are well documented and scientifically acceptable.

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
1973
Report date:
1973

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test material was generated into a 32 liter positive pressure inhalation chamber by means of a Midget Impigner. The exposure was 1-hour and the test animals were observed for 14-days after exposure.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
standard acute method

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 2.32 mg/L air
Exp. duration:
45 min
Clinical signs:
other: No apparent signs of toxicity were observed at the 0.95 mg/L test concentration. The 2.32 mg/L test concenration produced gasping, depressions, and mild eye irritation, subsiding upon removal from chamber.
Gross pathology:
All animals appeared normal when necropsied 14 days after exposure.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The concentration 2.32 mg/l had to be terminated at 45 minutes due to crystallization of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LC50 was determined to be higher than 2.32 mg/L after an inhalative exposure of 45 min.
