Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
195 mg/kg bw

Any other information on results incl. tables

LD50 value is given as 0.25 ml/kg bw (conversion to mg/kg bw was done using the density d= 0.78 g/ccm). Fiducial range values (+/- 1.96 S.D.) were from about 120 - 316 mg/kg bw.

No further data e.g. on clinical signs or body weight were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Testing for acute dermal toxicity led to a LD50 = 195 mg test item (Tributylamin) per kg bw. Due to this value the results were interpreted.
Executive summary:

Male white New Zealand rabbits (4 animals/dose) were subjected to test acute dermal toxicity. The test item (purity not stated) was applied onto 1/10 of the body surface for 24 h under occlusive conditions. The effects were observed for further 14 days.

This single application of the test item to male New Zealand rabbits resulted in a LD50 = 195 mg/kg bw (Carpenter et al., 1974).

This acute dermal toxcicity study is performed well and basic data are given, thus the study can be juged reliable with restrictions (RL 2).
