not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP)
Conclusions:
According to the results of the study it is concluded that the LC50 for male rats is greater than 8.1 mg/l air for the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene under conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

Two groups of 6 male rats each were exposed nose-only for a single, 4-hour periode to vapors of the test item 1,5,9 -Cyclododecatriene in air at chamber vapor concentrations of 6.1 or 8.1 mg/l. Mortality was 1/6 in the high dose group. Clinical signs noted in rats from both exposures included ocular and nasal discharges, irregular respiration, abnormal  gait or mobility, and tremors. Additionally, the rats exposed to  8.1 mg/l  exhibited  aggressive behavior and vocalization. Tremors were observed only on test day 1 in both groups. Abnormal gait or mobility was observed  only on  test day 1 in rats exposed to 6.1 mg/l and up to 3 days following exposure in rats exposed to  8.1 mg/l. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed after day 4 following exposure.

Therefore it is concluded that the LC50 for male rats is greater than 8.1 mg/l air for the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene under the conditions of the study.
