- Body weight:
- All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight.

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
The study was performed historically according to a method similar to OECD TG 403 and EU Method B.2, to assess the acute inhalation toxicity of the test item. A single group of ten Wistar: TNO/W 74 strain rats (five males and five females) were exposed to an aerosol atmosphere of the test item. The groups were exposed for seven hours using a full-body exposure system, followed by a fourteen day observation period. The estimated mean atmosphere concentration was 110 mg/L. Mean Mass Median Diameter (particle size) and geometric Standard Deviation were not reported. There were no mortalities in the estimated 110 mg/L achieved atmosphere concentration. Some nasal mucous membrane irritation and "excited states" in the rats were observed. After exposure, no clinical signs were observed for any animals, and the study authors remark that following exposure they all appeared to "meet the physiological norm" and show expected gains in bodyweight. 2/5 male and 1/5 female rats showed lung abnormalities at macroscopic post-mortem examination (dark red or grey discolouration with "bloomed" areas). No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post-mortem examination in the other rats. Under the conditions of this study, the inhalation 7h-LC50 (male/female) could not be determined, and was therefore considered to be >110 mg/L within the Wistar: TNO/W 74 rat.
Reference
Additional comments regarding test atmosphere generation:
Due to the solid state of the test item at standard temperature and pressure, the test item had a tendency to condense on the walls of the delivery tubing and test chamber. Solidified test-item had to be periodically re-evaporated by pouring warm water over the affected areas of tubing or test-chamber wall.

- Executive summary:
The study was performed historically according to a method similar to OECD TG 402 and EU Method B.3 Acute Toxicity (Dermal), to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test item in the TNO/W 74 strain rat. A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour semi-occluded dermal application of the test item delivered in poloxamer to intact skin at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg body weight. Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. There was no mortality during the study. There were no signs of system toxicity or abnormalities on necropsy. Applicant assessment indicates there were no toxicologically significant effects on bodyweight. Signs of dermal irritation were not reported; however an additional study in the same report documents a skin-irritation/corrosion test. The dermal LD50 was established to exceed 5000 mg/kg bw in male/female TNO/W 74 rats. Applicant assessment indicates under the conditions of this study, and according to the GHS criteria, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight on the basis of absence of significant clinical toxicological effects and/or bodyweight increases in all males/females.
