Additional information
The information about the acute toxicity of calcium bromide is derived from various sources. The acute oral LD50 of calcium bromide was found to be 2210 mg/kg bw in the rat (male/female) in a study comparable to EPA OTS 798.1175 (Allen, 1996). An additional study (Bier, 1980) reports an acute oral LD50 value of 4450 mg/kg bw in the rat (male/female).
Inhalation exposure of rats for 1 hour to a dust atmosphere of Calcium Bromide at calculated concentration of 204 mg/l did not result in any observable toxic effects during or after the exposure.
An acute dermal toxicity study showed an LD50 >200 mg/kg bw for Calcium bromide in New-Zealand White rabbits.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Calcium bromide was found to be non-toxic through oral, dermal and inhalation routes.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
