EC Number:
201-166-9
EC Name:
1,1,2-trichloroethane
Cas Number:
79-00-5
Molecular formula:
C2H3Cl3
IUPAC Name:
1,1,2-trichloroethane
Details on test material:

Name of the test substance (as cited in the test report) : 1,1,2-trichloroethane.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Wistar
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Carworth-Wistar male rats were used. They were 4 to 5 weeks of age and 90 to 120 grams in weight, have been reared in the testing laboratory and maintained from time of weaning on Rockland rat diet, complete.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
no data
Doses:
Logarythmic series of doses differing by a factor of two
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
no data
Statistics:
Based upon mortalities during a 14-day observation period, the most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range are estimated by the Method of Thompson (1947) using the tables of Weil (1952).
