Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
LC50 was considered to be > 200000 mg/m3 of air when rats were exposed with 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudanorange R) by inhalation route.
Executive summary:

In a acute inhalation toxicity study, rats were expose with 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudanorange R) in the concentration of 200000 mg/m3 / h inhaled through a 5 cm high layer of the product and observed for 8 hours. No mortality was observed in treated rat at 200000 mg/m3 / h. Therefore, LC50 was considered to be > 200000 mg/m3 of air when rats were exposed with 1-phenylazo-2-naphthol (Sudanorange R) by inhalation route.
