Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

eschar formation
------female:
erythema: score: 1 from d3-13; d14 score 0
edema: score: 1 from d3-13; d14 score 0
atonia: score 1 from d6-8, score 2 from d9-10, score 1 d11-13; d14 score 0
Fissuring: score 1 from d5-7; score 2 d8-13; score 1 d14
Eschar formation from d9 onwards and from d11 exfoliation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not Classified

Conclusions:

No death occured throughout the observation period. At necropsy, there were no remarkable findings in males whereas females showed dark red mottled lungs.Hence, the acute dermal LD50 can be considered to be greater than 2000 mg/kg when the test chemical was applied to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

Executive summary:

Astudy was performed to determine the acute dermal LD50 of the test chemical. 2000 mg/kg bw undiluted test chemical was applied to shaved (abraded and intact) areas of the back of each of 2 New Zealand White rabbits/sex und covered under occlusive conditions (gauze pad, rubber dam and several wrappings of Elastoplast) for 24 hours. Afterwards the restrainer and wrappings were removed and the test chemical was removed with a wet towel. pst exposure observation time 14 days, death and surviving animals were necropsied. LD50 value was calculated according tzo the method of Weil (1952). No death occured throughout the observation period. At necropsy, there were no remarkable findings in males whereas females showed dark red mottled lungs.Hence, the acute dermal LD50 can be considered to be greater than 2000 mg/kg when the test chemical was applied to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
