- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 11.24 mg/L air (nominal)
- Exp. duration:
- 8 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: Inhalation Risk Test: Substance concentration was calculated from substance loss during the exposure
- Mortality:
- No mortality occured.
- Clinical signs:
- other: During the exposure escape attempts, irritation of the mucous membranes and intense respiration. At the end of the exposure period high stepping almost staggering gait, tremor of the whole body. 24 h post application piloerection and calm behaviour. 48 h
- Body weight:

- 1x bronchial pneumonia (right) and vicariious emphysema (left); 1x chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The inhalation of a highly saturated vapor-air-mixture at 20 °C caused no mortality after 8 h of exposure.
