Description of key information
The 12-hour LD50 for wild house sparrows was approximately 3,000 - 3,500 mg/kg NaCl.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Short-term EC50 or LC50 for birds:
- 3 000 mg/kg food
Additional information
One valid toxicity study (Klimish score = 2) with wild house sparrows was available for sodium chloride. Results indicated an approximate mean lethal dose (LD50) of 3,000–3,500 mg/kg following 12 hours of exposure in water-deprived birds, which is similar to mammalian values. House sparrows dosed with a concentrated solution of NaCl generally died at doses of 8,000 mg/kg.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
