Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
LD50 was consiidered to be 2630mg/kg body weight .When albino rats were treated with N, N, N-triethylethanaminium chloride (56-34-8)
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in albino rat using test material N, N, N-triethylethanaminium chloride (56-34-8).155 animals were used. 40.6% test substance dissolved in distilled water to get required dose concentration. Maximum tolerated dose i.e.95-100 % animal survived was determined to be 750.0mg/kg .Clinical signslikeTremors, incoordination, flaccid prostrationwere observed. Mortality observed with 10-30 min due to respiratory failure at dose 2630mg/kg/bw .Hence LD50 was determined2630mg/kg body weight. When albino rats were treated with N, N, N-triethylethanaminium chloride (56-34-8)
