- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: 1 hr, 3 hr, 5 hr, 24 hr, twice daily thereafter except weekends once daily
- Frequency of weighing: Before exposure, 14 d
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes - examinations of lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenals, bladder, stomach, intestines, plus gross examination of external carcass (fur, skin and orifices), peritoneal and pleural mucosa, internal mesentry
- Other examinations performed: Clinical observations

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
No mortality observed in the preliminary study using 2 rats/sex/dose exposed for 24 hrs, observed for 72 hrs with doses of 0.05, 0.16, 0.5, 1.6 and 5.0 g/kg bw .
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
None
Clinical signs:
other: All rats lethargic after 1-3 hrs; 2 animals (F-338, F-340) became ataxic but recovered within 2 hrs. Nasal and ocular discharges observed in most animals lasting approx. 24 hrs. See table II of the attached supporting information.
Gross pathology:
No signs indicative of toxicity. No visible lesions in any tissue examined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The authors found that the acute dermal LD₅₀ to rats of the test material was > 5000 mg/kg bw.
