Results and discussion

Effect levelsopen allclose all
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks:
undiluted
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 212 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks:
(2% aqueous dilution)
Mortality:
All of the animals exposed to the 212 mg/kg survived.
Mortality occurred in three out of six rabbits exposed to the undiluted dose.
LD50 = 2000 mg/kg bw (undiluted); LD50 > 212 mg/kg bw (2% aqueous dilution)
Clinical signs:
other: Local skin reactions included erythema, mild edema and mild desquamation at 212 mg/kg and chemical burns, severe edema and necrosis at 2000 mg/kg. No untoward behavioral reactions were observed.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy did not reveal any gross pathological alterations.
