Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Description of key information

Studies on acute toxicity by the oral route and by the dermal route in rats and mice demonstrated that z-cyclooctene is practically non toxic. 
Using a read across approach an LC50 estimated based on data for cyclohexene.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
4 550 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Value:
3 000 mg/m³ air

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
10 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

Z-Cyclooctene was demonstrated to be practically non-toxic upon a single dose by the oral or dermal route.

Considering that oral absorption of z-cyclooctene is extensive and taking into account that repeated inhalation of the analogous cyclic alkene cyclohexene resulted in no mortalities at 600 ppm (2.015 mg/m³ = 26.8 mmol/m³) upon 6 month exposure is concluded that the LC50 for z-cyclooctene exceeds 26.8 mmol/m³ corresponding to 3000 mg/m³.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the effect levels obtained in the acute toxicity studies, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
