TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Taconic Farms, Germantown, NY
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals
- Weight at study initiation: Males. 252 ± 12.0 g; Females: 239 ± 8.8 g
- Fasting period before study: not stated
- Housing: individually in stainless steel suspended cages with DACB cageboard bedding
- Diet: Purina Rodent Chow 5001 (pellets) ad libitum
- Water: fresh tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: minimum of 5 calendar days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Details on dermal exposure:
Doses corresponding to a dosage level of 2000 mg/kg bw were individually calculated based on the body weight of each animal on the day of dosing. The test material was weighed onto a 2 x 2 inch gauze pad and moistened with physiological saline. The gauze was positioned on the intact test site and held in place with hypoallergenic tape. The test site was covered with an elastic bandage which was lined with plastic for approximately 24 hours.
The bandages and pads were removed and the test sites were wiped with clean gauze moistened with methanol, then rinsed with tap water approximately twenty-four hours after application.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals per sex per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
The animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs (local irritation excluded) at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours on the day of dosing and twice daily thereafter for 13 days; on day 14 the animals were observed once. A description of the local irritation was recorded on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 of the study. Body weights were taken on the day of dosing and again on days 7 and 14.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute LD50 and LD0 values were greater than 2000 mg/kg bw and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, in both male and female rats.
Executive summary:

Diammonium persulfate was tested for acute dermal toxicity to rats in a single dose test according to guideline EPA OPP 81-2. In this test, the acute LD50 and LD0 values were greater than 2000 mg/kg bw and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, in both male and female rats. Under the conditions of this study, diammonium persulfate was considered as non-toxic to both male and female rats when topically applied.
