Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 8471 mg/kg bw when rat were treated with Urea.
Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity study,rats were treated with Urea orally. 50 % mortality observed was observed in treated rats at 8471 mg/kg bw. Therefore,LD50 was considered to bemg/kg bw when rats were treated with Urea.
