Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Toxicological information

Acute Toxicity: inhalation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Study period:
1974
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
significant methodological deficiencies
Remarks:
Increase in substance weight instead of decrease during IRT, probably due to hygroscopic properties of test substance. Therefore, one cannot be sure whether the animals were exposed to the test substance at all.

whole body
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Rate of air: 200 liter air/hour

"Inhalation einer mit Dampf bei C gesättigten Atmosphäre: 20 °C. Zur Sättigung wurde durch eine ca. 5 cm hohe Schicht des Produktes Luft geleitet"
(Inhalation of a vapour saturated atmosphere at 20 °C. In order to obtain saturation of the atmosphere, air was passed through a 5 cm column of the product.)
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
8 h
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3
Control animals:
yes
Remarks:
Exposure to pure air.
Details on study design:
- Exposure time: 8 h
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
Further details were not provided.

Results and discussion

Mortality:
No mortality within 8 h exposure period and 7 day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: No effects on clinical signs.
Body weight:
No effects on body weight.
Gross pathology:
No effects on gross pathology.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
No mortalities within 8 h exposure period.
Executive summary:

A nominal concentration could not be calculated because the substance gained weight instead of lost weight during the test.
