Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for rats is > 8 mL/kg bw (~ 6000 mg/ kg bw).
Executive summary:

This study examined the acute toxicity of Dilutine M5 to rats via oral exposure. After an overnight fasting period, 2 female and 2 male rats were exposed to 1, 2, 4 or 8 mL/kg bw of undiluted test material by oral gavage, followed by a 9-day observation period. No rats died during the experiment. The oral LD50 for rats is > 8 mL/kg bw (~ 6000 mg/kg bw).
