Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
Mortality occurred at 20000 mg/kg bw. The LD50 is considered to be between 10000 and 20000 mg/kg bw but has not been determined precisely.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (6 males) were given a single oral dose of C14-24 alkaryl calcium salt derivatives at 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. Mortality occurred at 20,000 mg/kg bw, therefore the LD50 is considered to be between 10,000 and 20,000 mg/kg bw.
