> 8.7 mg/m³ air (nominal)
Exp. duration:
8 h
Remarks on result:
other: no mortality occured within 8h; calculation based on the saturated vapor concentration
Mortality:
No mortality occured.
Clinical signs:
other: No symptoms observed.
Body weight:

Any other information on results incl. tables

The inhalation of a highly saturated vapour-air mixture for 8 h caused no mortality.

Calculation of the saturated vapor concenration is basd on the vapor pressure at 25°C = 0.002 hPa and the molecular weight = 105.14 g/mol which equals a sat. vapor conc. = 0.0087 mg/L = 8.7 mg/m³.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LC50 > 8.7 mg/m3
Executive summary:

The inhalation of a saturated vapor-air mixture for 8 hours caused no mortality in the inhalation risk test. No clinical signs or indications at necropsy were observed.
