Clinical signs:
other: In all animals there was no response to audio/physical stimuli on day 1, and abnormal respiration (very severe up to day 3), subdued behaviour and umkempt appearance until day 8-11. The severe respiratory effects noted post exposure included gasping, crac

Weight loss (by up to 30%) occurred in all animals during day 1 to 4.

Pale colouration of lungs was reported in 4/10 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Tle combined acute inhalative LC50 on rats was determined to be > 2.6 mg/L air.
Executive summary:

This LC50 study was performed following a modified Annex V limit test. A limit concentration of 2.6 mg/l was used because the results of the acute oral test suggested to the test laboratory that all animals would die if exposed to 5 mg/l. The marked weight loss and severe respiratory effects noted at 2.6 mg/l supported this prediction. Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this test, test item was applied as liquid aerosol to snout only. No mortaslity was noted besides of the clinical signs mentioned above. Gross pathology showed pale discoloration of the lungs in 4 out of ten animals.

Based on these findings, the substance is classified as Harmful / Acute Tox. IV.
