300 mg/kg: 1 rat
2000 mg/kg: 5 rats
Control animals:
no

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
A single animal was dosed with 300 mg/kg and survived with hunched posture observed on the day of dosing. The following day the animal appeared normal. Based on this result, a dose level of 2000 mg/kg was investigated.
Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
One animal out of five was killed for humane reasons due to pronounced clinical signs.
Clinical signs:
Hunched posture (4 animals); decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration (1 animal).
Body weight:
One animal showed body weight loss during the first week.
Gross pathology:
In the animal that was sacrificed for humane reasons, abnormally red lungs, dark liver and kidneys, and gaseous stomach and intestines were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
relatively harmless
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Fuel-A presents a low acute toxicity hazard by the oral route.
