Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Substantially saturated vapor, generated at room temperature by passing air at 2.5 liters/minute through a fritted glass disc immersed in 50 ml of chemical caused no mortality among 6 adult male rats exposed for 8 hours and observed subsequently for a total of 14 days. The only notable response was slight irritiation of extremities.
