Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Screening test only, gives some indication of toxicity but exposure was static, methods described in an earlier publication Smyth et al. Am. In. Hyg. Assoc. J. 23:95-107, 1962. This study is also reported in Patty 2001.
