Executive summary:

In an acute inhalation experiment, 3 rats were exposed to a chamber concentration of 0.97 mg/L (117 ppm) for 6 hours, and a separate group of 3 rats were exposed to a chamber concentration of 2.91 mg/L (355 ppm) for 6 hours. At the end of the exposure period, there were no symptoms or adverse effects observed.
