Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category III
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions, the inhalation LC50 of TMPDA is higher than 1000 ppm (5.32 mg/l) in male.
Executive summary:

The Acute inhalation toxicity of Tetramethylpropylenediamine (TMPDA) was evaluated in one group of 6 rats. The 4-hour exposure at 1000 ppm caused death in 2/6rats.

Under these experimental conditions, the inhalation LC50 of TMPDA is higher than 1000 ppm (5.32 mg/l) in male.
