Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
The backs of the rabbits were shaved free of hair with electric clippers. The shaved area on each animal constituted about 30 percent of the total body surface area. On the testing day, the rabbits received skin applications of the undiluted test material. After each application, the exposure site was covered by wrapping the trunk of the animal with an impervious plastic sheeting which was securely taped in place. This plastic wrap insured intimate contact of epidermis and test material. To further prevent oral ingestion of the test material, each animal was fitted with a light-weight flexible plastic collar which was worn throughout the observation period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: no, all residual material was removed

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

3000 and 10200 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2

Control animals:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Body weights: At day 0 and day 14. Mortalities, local skin reactions and abnormal behaviour were recorded during the observation period of 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no

Statistics:

LD50 calculated using the techniques of Weil, Thompson, and Thompson and Weil.

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity study with DPM 3-800LC with male and female rabbits, performed equivalent to OECD 402 guideline, an LD50 > 10200 mg/kg bw was determined.

Executive summary:

The test substance DPM 3 -800LC was tested in an acute dermal toxicity study with male and female rabbits, performed equivalent to OECD 401 guideline. No deaths occurred up to highest tested concentration of 10200 mg/kg bodyweight.

Pale red, definable erythema and slight edema were noted at the site of contact with the test material. These reactions subsided six days later, at which time dryness and desquamation were noted. The latter two reactions continued until the end of the observation period.

Necropsy revealed hyperemia of lungs of animals in both groups and skin findings consistent with those previously described at clinical signs. Based on the results, an LD50 > 10200 mg/kg bodyweight was determined.
