Description of key information

Acute toxicity studies with AITC have been performed by oral, dermal and inhalation routes of exposure.

The acute LD50 of AITC by oral route is estimated to be 425.4 mg/kg bw in rats.

The acute LD50 of AITC by dermal route was between 200 and 2,000 mg/kg bw in rats.

The acute LC50 of AITC by inhalation route was between 0.206 and 0.508 mg/L/4h in rats.

Conclusions:
An acute inhalation toxicity test was conducted with rats to determine the potential for IR9804 to produce toxicity from a single exposure via the inhalation (nose-only exposure) route. Under the conditions of this study, the 4-hour exposure acute inhalation LC50 of the test substance (calculated as a Time Weighted Average) appears to be between 0.206 and 0.508 mg/L in male and females rats.

Details on dermal exposure:
The appropriate amount of test substance (200 or 2,000 mg/kg bw) was applied evenly over a dose area of approximately 10% of the body surface and covered with a gauze pad. After 24h of exposure to the substance, the pads were removed and the test sites were gently cleansed of any residual test substance.
