Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 3 750 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
One animal died on day 6 of the 14-day post-exposure observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: Erythema and edema were observed at the test site.

Necropsy revealed congested lungs and white areas on the liver. In addition, four animals were found to have congested lungs, but it was not clear that this effect was treatment-related.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 for unleaded gasoline (API PS-6) in the rabbit is >3750 mg/kg. This finding does not warrant classification of the test material as an acute dermal toxicant under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of unleaded gasoline (API PS-6) was evaluated in rabbits via occlusive dermal application at 3750 mg/kg. Observations were made hourly for the first 4 hours immediately after dosing and twice daily (a.m. and p.m.) for the following 14 days. One animal died on day 6 post-exposure. Erythema and edema were observed at the test site during the observation period. Necropsy revealed congested lungs and white areas on the liver. In addition, four animals were found to have congested lungs, but it was not clear that this effect was treatment-related. The LD50 for unleaded gasoline (API PS-6) is >3750 mg/kg.

This finding does not warrant classification of the test material as an acute dermal toxicant under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
