Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: no mortality observed
Mortality:
Neither female nor male rats died on account of the treatment or showed severe sign of toxicosis.
Clinical signs:
other: All animals showed piloerection on day 0 after 1 hours and normal behaviour after 3 hours as well as 6 hours. From day 1 to the end of the observation period on day 14 no abnormalities were revealed.
Gross pathology:
The post mortem inspection revealed no pathological abnormalities.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (OECD 402, GLP), a group of Wistar rats (5/sex) was dermally exposed to undiluted uronium hydrogen sulphate for 24 hours at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days.

 

Dermal LD50 (Males/Females) > 2000 mg/kg bw (no mortality observed)

 

No effects were observed on mortality, body weight gain and gross pathology.

No clinical signs were observed, except at 1 hour after application (piloerection in all animals).

 

Based on this study, uronium hydrogen sulphate is of low toxicity and is not classified as dangerous for acute dermal toxicity according to EU criteria (DSD or CLP).
