Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, the test substance is not classified for acute dermal toxicity according to the criteria of Regulation 1272/2008.

Executive summary:

This study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats. The method followed was as per the guidelines of OECD N° 402 (February 1987).

Two groups of rats, each comprising of 5 males and 5 females were randomly selected for the study. Approximately, 10 per cent of the body surface area was clipped 24 hours prior to the dermal application of the test substance. One group (group I) served as the control and was treated with distilled water. The other group (group II) was given a limit dose of 2000 mg d-Phenothrin/kg bw by dermal application and observed for a period of 14 days. No clinical symptoms or mortality were observed in the rats from either the control or the treatment group. All the rats, at the end of the observation period, were sacrificed and subjected to gross pathological examination. The rats sacrificed at termination belonging to the control as well as the treatment group did not reveal any lesion of pathological significance.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
