Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) was considered to be 527 mg/L (527000 mg/m3), when rats were exposed to the given test chemical via inhalation route for 4 hour exposure.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical in rats at the concentration of 527 mg/L (527000 mg/m3).

Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs. 50% mortality was observed at 527 mg/L in treated animals. Data on the symptoms triggered by the substance inhalation are lacking. The substance must be assumed to trigger irritations of the respiratory tract. After massive exposures, systemic effects must at least be considered to occur.

Hence, the LC50 value was considered to be 527 mg/L (527000 mg/m3), when rats were exposed to the given test chemical via inhalation route for 4 hour exposure.
