Additional information

ORAL: The NOAEL for chronic oral toxicity is based upon Study #004 (Ellis et al. 1984) for the two-year rat feeding study. This was used as the point-of-departure for the long-term oral DNEL (and the long-term inhalation DNEL, see below).

DERMAL: The LOAEL for local dermal effects is based upon Imoto et al. (1986). This study also identified a systemic NOAEL of 60 mg/kg-day for decreased neutrophil counts and increased heart and kidney weights.

INHALATION: There were no chronic inhalation studies from which to establish an effect level. For the derivation of the long-term inhalation DNELs, the chronic oral study (Ellis et al. 1984) was used as a point-of-departure.

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects (target organ) cardiovascular / hematological: hematopoiesis; glandular: mammary gland

Repeated dose toxicity: dermal - systemic effects (target organ) other: skin
