Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test material, N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), was evaluated for its acute dermal toxicity potential in male and female rabbits when administered as a single topical application at a level of 2,000 mg/kg of body weight. The estimated dermal LD50 for male and female rabbits was determined to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted in accordance with the EPA Guidelines, EPA OTS 798.1100 (Acute Dermal Toxicity)
The objective of this study was to assess the systemic toxicity and relative skin irritancy of a test material when applied to the skin of dult albino rabbits of the Hra:(NZW)SPF strain procured from HRP, Inc., Kalamazoo, Michigan. The test material, N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), was evaluated for its acute dermal toxicity potential in male and female rabbits when administered as a single topical application at a level of 2,000 mg/kg of body weight. The estimated dermal LD50 for male and female rabbits was determined to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg. All animals appeared normal with the exception of 4 animals which exhibited soft stool on Days 1 and/or 2. All animals returned to a normal appearance by Day 3 after treatment.
Mortality. There were no deaths.
Clinical Observations. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
Dermal Irritation. The test material produced slight to severe dermal irritation.
Bodyweight. All animals exhibited body weight gain throughout the stud
Necropsy. The gross necropsy at termination revealed no visible lesions.
Conclusion. The test material, N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), was evaluated for its acute dermal toxicity potential in male and female rabbits when administered as a single topical application at a level of 2,000 mg/kg of body weight. The estimated dermal LD50 for male and female rabbits was determined to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg
