Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a repeated dose toxicity study of 3-chloroaniline, LOEL (Lowest onserved effect level) was considered to be 8.800 mg/kg bw/d when administered by inhalative route to rat.
Executive summary:

In a repeated dose toxicity study, the toxic effects of repeated administration of 3-chloroaniline to rat by the inhalative route was evaluated. Rats were given 3-chloroaniline for 14 days at a dose concentration of 8.800 mg/kg bw/day. Changed Enzyme activity, in blood -erythrocytes,extramedullary haematopoiesis,haematocrit,haemoglobin and methaemoglobinaemia observed,as well as in spleen congestion,haematopoiesis,haemosiderosis and weight increased was observed.Therefore,LOEL(Lowest onserved effect level) for repeated dose toxicity study was considered to be 8.800 mg/kg bw/day for the 14 days study,it is regarded that there is no repeated dose toxicity at concentrations lower than 8.8 mg/kg bw/day when administered by inhalative route.
