Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The rat oral LD50 for Lorol 8 was >5g/kg when applied as an aqueous suspension. Clinical signs of intoxication were confined to slight sedation and piloerection during the first 24 hours following dosing. There was no remarkable gross pathology at necrospy and no indication of specific target organ toxicity.
