Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 17460 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 2-Chlorobutane by single dermal application
Executive summary:

In a acute dermal toxicity study, rabbits were treated with 2-Chlorobutane in the concentration of 17460 mg/kg bw orally. 50 % mortality was observed at 17460 mg/kg bw intreated rabbits. Therefore,LD50 was considered to be 17460mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 2-Chlorobutane by single dermal application
