Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 025 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No deads were observed in the highest dose tested.
Clinical signs:
other: No untoward behavioral reactions were seen. All the test chemicals caused local skin reactions characterized at the end of the 24-hr contact period by erythema and edema.
Gross pathology:
Necropsies revealed no abnormal findings other than these dermal alterations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 was determined to be greater than 2025 mg/kg bw after 24h dermal exposure to rabbits.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity test was performed in Albino rabbits of the New Zealand strain. The backs of the rabbits were shaved with electric clippers; the shaved area on each animal was about 30% of the total body surface. After a 24 h waiting period to allow the stratum corneum to recover from any disturbance accompanying the close-clipping procedure and to permit healing of any microscopic abrasions, the undiluted liquid test material was applied, using two male and two female rabbits at each dose level. All materials were tested at 2025 mg/kg. The site of application was covered by wrapping the trunk of the animal with plastic sheeting that was taped securely in place, and oral contact with the test material was prevented by fitting each animal with a light-weight flexible plastic collar that was worn throughout the observation period. When the test material had been in contact with the skin for 24 h, the plastic sheeting was removed and all residues of test material were washed off, the test sites were examined for local skin reactions, and the animals were returned to their separate cages. Observations were continued for 14 days following the skin applications. Necropsies were conducted on all animals that died during the study and on all animals that survived the observation period. No deads were observed in the highest dose tested. No untoward behavioral reactions were seen. All the test chemicals caused local skin reactions characterized at the end of the 24 h contact period by erythema and edema. Necropsies revealed no abnormal findings other than these dermal alterations. The LD50 was determined to be greater than 2025 mg/kg bw after 24h dermal exposure to rabbits.
