Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: adult rats
- Weight at study initiation: between 200 and 300 g
- Fasting period before study: no data
- Housing: maintained in air-conditioned rooms
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
water
Details on exposure:
50% aqueous solutions were used
Doses:
single dose, no more data
No. of animals per sex per dose:
22 rats in total
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
1 250 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
The rats showed a progressive depression and decrease in activity until death occurred. The toxicity was considerably greater when zirconyl nitrate was administered intraperitoneally compared to the oral gavage route.
Clinical signs:
No characteristic physiologic changes were observed.
Body weight:
No characteristic physiologic changes were observed.
Gross pathology:
No characteristic gross pathologic changes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute LD50 value for zirconyl nitrate (50% aqueous solution) via the intraperitoneal route in rats is 1250 mg/kg bw (test item-based).
