Executive summary:

In a pre-guideline study, groups of 5 WBS/W rats were administered dose levels of 1400, 2000, 2800, 4000 mg/kg bw of diethylhydroxylamine (undiluted) by stomach tube. The animals were then observed for 7 days following exposure. At 4000 mg/kg, 5/5 rats died, at 2800 mg/kg bw 4/5 rats died, at 2000 mg/kg bw, 2/5 rats died and at 1400 mg/kg bw none died. Clinical observations revealed muscular incoordination and general depression. Autopsy findings were negative.The LD50was 2190 mg/kg bw.
