Toxicological information

Acute Toxicity: inhalation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Justification for type of information:
Perfluorocarbons form a class of compounds with very similar propertioes with regards to living systems. They have been used in numerous medical applications, and so various studies have been performed by other parties and these have established how the materials behave
