Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Toxicities in the lungs (congestion), liver (congestion and necrosis) and kidneys (heme casts and cloudy swelling) were observed. The LD50 was 89 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Rabbits (3 males/group) were exposed for 24 hours to 25 - 200 mg/kg bw of 2-propen-1-ol (applied by injecting the 2-propen-1-ol though the occlusive dressing onto the surface of the skin and sealing the puncture site with rubber cement). Apathy, along with flushing of the skin, ataxia and diarrhoea were observed. On histopathological examination, toxicities in the lungs (congestion), liver (congestion and necrosis) and kidneys (heme casts and cloudy swelling) were observed. The LD50 was 89 mg/kg bw.
