Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
No preliminary study.
Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 71 mg/L air
Exp. duration:
1 h
Mortality:
All rats survived the 1 hour exposure and subsequent 14 day  observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: During exposure, all animals displayed hypoactivity and/or ataxia, salivation and gasping. Generalised weakness was also evident when the animals were removed from the chamber at the end of the exposure. At the 24 hour observation period, all animals show
Body weight:
Final bodyweight records of the animals at termination (14 days) showed gains within expected limits, in all animals.
Gross pathology:
Gross necropsy of the animals at fourteen days showed slight to moderate pulmonary (all animals) and adrenal (two animals) congestion; otherwise findings were unremarkable.
Other findings:
The lungs were affected in all rats.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Federal Hazardous Substances Act
Conclusions:
The result was read across from 1-decanol. The rat 1 hour LC50 for Alfol 10 (mist) was >71 mg/l. Signs of intoxication during exposure included lethargy,and/or ataxia, salivation and gasping. Gross necropsy revealed congestion of the lungs in all animals.
