Any other information on results incl. tables

One Person (70 kg) received 7 g adipic acid per day (100 mg/kg bw/day) over 10 days (70 g in total) given in several portions over the day.  Urine was collected for these 10 days and two additional days after end of administration. 61% of the administered dose was found in the urine. Three further persons received 23.4, 19.0, and 23.4 g adipic acid over 6, 5, and 9 days, respectively. 53% of the administered dose was found in the urine. No symptoms were reported during and after exposure.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Adipic acid is readily excreted in urine, unchanged.
