Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 5.81 mg/L air
Based on:
test mat.
Exp. duration:
4 h
Other findings:
Based on the experimental results obtained with the analogue Calcium Acetate (LC 50 for female rats > 5.6 mg/L air) and the molecular weights, the read-across approach is applied and the LC50 for substance Sodium Acetate is calculated to be higher than 5.81 mg/L air under test conditions.

The analogue Calcium Acetate, which shares the same functional group with Sodium Acetate, also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. These properties are:
- a low log Pow value which is - 1.38 for Calcium Acetate and -3.72 for Sodium Acetate,
- a similar water solubility which is 1.0 g/mL at 25 ºC for Calcium Acetate and 1.25 g/mL for Sodium Acetate at 25 ºC, and
- molecular weights which are 158.166 for Calcium Acetate and 82.03 for Sodium Acetate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LC50 for substance Sodium Acetate is calculated to be higher than 5.81 mg/L air under test conditions.
Executive summary:

Based on the experimental results (reported under the endpoint record 07.02.02_02 CaAc) obtained with the analogue Calcium Acetate (LC 50 for female rats > 5.6 mg/L air) and the molecular weights, the read-across approach is applied and the LC50 for substance Sodium Acetate is calculated to be higher than 5.81 mg/L air under test conditions.
