Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation LC50 value was considered to be >351 ppm (>351000 mg/m3), when rats were treated with 1,2-di(ethenyl)benzene (CAS no: 1321-74-0) via inhalation route for 7 hours.
Executive summary:

Acute inhalation toxicity study of 1,2-di(ethenyl)benzene (CAS no: 1321-74-0) was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 351 ppm (351000 mg/m3). No mortality was observed in treated rats. Therefore, LC50 value was considered to be >351 ppm (>351000 mg/m3), when rats were treated with 1,2-di(ethenyl)benzene (CAS no: 1321-74-0) via inhalation route for 7 hours.
