Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study it is concluded that the LC50 for male rats is 8.2 mg/l (95% confidence interval = 7.5 - 8.9) mg/l for the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene.
Executive summary:

Male rats were exposed whole body for a single, 6 hour periode to vapors of the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene in air at chamber vapor concentrations of 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and10.0 mg/l. Mortality was 0/10; 1/10; 5/10; 5/20; 4/10; 3/10; 18/20 within the exposure groups (5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0 and10.0 mg/l) and 92 % died during exposure.

Clinical signs noted in rats from all exposures included gasping, twitching, and severe muscle spasms. In  general, recovery of the animals was complete by the third day following  exposure. Under the conditions of the study it is concluded that the LC50 for male rats is 8.2 mg/l (95% confidence interval = 7.5 - 8.9) mg/l for the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene.
