Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Material tested is in a naptha solution and the toxicity evaluated is based on a SG of DFDPM of 0.8g/ml and all deaths are concluded as being due to the DFDPM not the solvent.
