- Executive summary:
In acute dermal toxicity study, five rabbits were treated with test chemical in the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw by dermal application followed by a 14 days observation period.No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. Necropsy was not conducted. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw,when rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
