Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the dermal LD50 value in rats after treatment with Sodium molybdate was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (OECD 402, limit test), a group of young adult Crl:CD (SD) rats (5 males and 5 females) was dermally exposed to Sodium molybdate in water for 24 hours to approximately 10% of body surface area at 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. There were no treatment related clinical signs, necropsy findings or changes in body weight. The dermal LD50 value of Sodium molybdate in both female and male Crl:CD (SD) rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
