Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral Toxicity

The LD50in an acute oral toxicity study was determined to be 940 mg/kg. Other authors reported an LD50> 2900 mg/kg in rats. Effects seen were convulsions, tremor and respiratory tract damage. Available information indicate that classification for acute oral toxicity category 4 is warranted.
