Executive summary:

Method

The evaluation of acute inhalation toxicity reported from Greate Lakes Chemical Corporation (1982) in the WHO publication[1] has been considered in order to complete the assessment.

The test has been conducted on mouse. No further information on the method used is available.

Results

The LC50 by the inhalation route reported on the Similar Substance 01 in these reviews is greater than 87000 mg/m3 (LC50 > 87 mg/l).
