Control animals:

Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

6 male rats were given a single dose of the test substance. One week later six more animals were given some other dosage and this procedure was repeated until two dosages differing by a multiple of ten were found one of which kills some or all animals and the other of which kills some or no animals within 14 days. An LD50 was then estimated on the assumption that the slope of a probit mortality vs. log dosage curve is the same as that of some structurally similar material which has been studied in more detail previously.
