Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No deaths occurred in a group of twelve rats exposed by inhalation to the saturated vapour concentration of 2.17 mg/L. The animals were exposed for a period of seven hours without serious adverse effect.
Executive summary:

Rats were exposed to a saturated vapour concentration atmosphere at 2.17 mg/L for seven hours and respiratory tract irritation and mortality monitored. No deaths occurred in a group of twelve rats exposed by inhalation to the saturated vapour concentration of 2.17 mg/L. The animals were exposed for a period of seven hours without serious adverse effect. No deaths occurred at the saturated vapour concentration: the acute LC50 is therefore >2.17 mg/L
