Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Original publication in Czech; only few data could be extracted from an English abstract and from tables; However, peer reviewed data used as supporting data for HPV submission (US EPA); Scientifically acceptable.
