Mortality:

Mortality rates of the five dose groups (2.5, 2.0, 10, 15, and 20 mL/kg) were 12.5, 20, 70, 40, and 90% respectively.

Clinical signs:

other: Clinical signs observed were oily urine stains and oily diarrhoea, which resulted in hair loss, irritation, redness, and sores. In many cases, the anal area had open sores. In the highest dose (20 mL/kg) the entire ventral side and legs were affected. In

Gross pathology:

Rats that survived for the duration of the study had few abnormalities and abnormal signs that were observed included enlarges Peyer's patched on the intestine. In both surviving animals and those that died prematurely, many exhibited mild irritation in their lungs or congestion to fluid filled abcesses. In the animals that died prematurely, almost all had intestinal damage including hemorrhaging in the stomach and thinning of the intestinal walls. A few rats has white spots on their caecums and increased gas was noticed in the gastrointestinal tract.

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the test material had an oral LD50 of 9.0 mL/kg (approx 7600 mg/kg) body weight. The test material is not classified according to EU criteria.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, five groups of ten rats (5 males and 5 females) were given a single dose of the appropriate amount of diesel fuel (marketplace sample) (2.5, 5.0, 10, 15, or 20 mL/kg) via oral gavage. Dose levels were chosen to produce expected mortality rates between 10 and 90%. Signs of mortality and toxicity were observed daily for the duration of the study (14 days). Body weight was measured on days 0 and 7, and upon death. Gross necropsy was performed on each animal when they died or by day 14.

Mortality rates of the five dose groups (2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 mL/kg) were 12.5, 20, 70, 40, and 90% respectively. Signs of toxicity were observed in all dose groups. Severity increased with increased dose. Clinical signs observed were oily urine stains and oily diarrhoea, which resulted in hair loss, irritation, redness, and sores. In many cases, the anal area had open sores. In the highest dose (20 mL/kg) the entire ventral side and legs were affected. In some instances there was blood around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Other symptoms noted included lethargy, pus, or blood at the urinary orifice. Gross pathology observations were also similar in each dose group. In rats who survived for the duration of the study (14 days), there were few abnormalities. In these rats minor observations included enlarged Peyer's patches on intestines. Both animals that died and survived exhibited mild irritation and congestion in the lungs, in addition to fluid-filled abscesses in the lungs. The majority of the animals that died before day 14 showed intestinal damage including, hemorrhaging, thinning of intestinal walls, and increased gas in the gastrointestinal tract.

Under the conditions of this study, the test material had an oral LD₅₀ of 9.0 mL/kg (approx 7600 mg/kg) and a 95% confidence interval of 5.58 and 14.51 mL/kg. the test material was determined to have a median lethal dose according to the study report. The test material is not classified according to EU criteria.

This study received a Klimisch score of 1and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted similar to guideline study OECD 401.
