Additional information

Oral

Groups of 10 fasted male and female Sprague Dawley rats or 10 fasted male and female Wistar rats were dosed by gavage at eight or nine dose levels of thiophosphoryl trichloride in vegetable oil (no further details). After a 14-day observation period the LD50 was calculated for each species with 2 different methods. The resulting LD50 ranged between 700 and 750 mg/kg bw for Sprague Dawley rats and for Wistar tats between 750 and 800 mg/kg bw (Calosi-Esca 1984). Based on these data LD50 (rat, oral) = 750 mg/kg bw is relevant for further considerations.

Inhalation

In none of the available publications considering acute inhalation toxicity detailed description of the method used is available. Chruscielka 1971 and Marhold 1972 reported at least a 4-hour exposure time resulting in LC50 value of 0.14 mg/l for rats and 0.63 mg/l for guinea pig. Galushka published LC50 values for rats, mice and guinea pig of 0.53 mg/l, 0.63 mg/l and 0.4 mg/l , respectively, without details and the National Defense Research Committee cited by RTECS gives a LCL0-value of 3 mg/l for a 10 min exposure. Based on these data the LC50 (rat, 4h) of 0.14 mg/l (140 mg/m³) is chosen on a weight of evidence consideration as relevant.

Dermal

There are no valid data available for thiophosphoryl trichloride. According Annex VI to Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008 no legal classification exists for dermal toxicity regarding the hydrolysis products of thiophosphoryl trichloride.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The most reliable study was used as key study and for classification

Justification for classification or non-classification

Oral

Based on the data above it is proposed to group thiophosphoryl trichloride in category 4 for acute oral exposure (H302).

Inhalation

Based on the above discussed information it is proposed to group thiophosphoryl trichloride in category 1 for acute inhalation exposure (H330).
