Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the conditions of this study, the LC50 for acute inhalation exposure to API 81-04 is > 5250 mg/m³. This finding does not warrant classification of API 81-04 vapor as an acute inhalation toxicant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

API 81-04 was administered via individual inhalation chambers for four hours to ten Sprague-Dawley rats at the analytical vapor concentration of 5250mg/m³ to assess acute inhalation toxicity. Animals were observed for fourteen days following exposure. There were no mortalities and no other treatment-related effects. No gross abnormalities were observed at necropsy. Based on the conditions of this study, the LC50 for acute inhalation exposure to API 81-04 is > 5250mg/m³. This finding does not warrant classification of API 81-04 vapor as an acute inhalation toxicant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
