Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 of cyclopentene to male rabbits was 1.59 mL/kg (0.97-2.59). Assuming a density of 0.744g/ml, Rabbit Dermal LD50 = 1183mg/kg.
Executive summary:

In a range-finding acute dermal toxicity study,using the same experimental methods as described in an earlier publication (Smyth et al, 1962), the acute dermal LD50 of cyclopentene to male rabbits was 1.59 mL/kg (0.97-2.59). Assuming a density of 0.744g/ml, Rabbit Dermal LD50 = 1183mg/kg
