- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Information from study report:
- Name of test material: Emulgator E30, Fest
- CAS number: 5896-54-8
The CAS number in report (5896-54-8) is misleading, since this CAS number does only represent 1-Penta-decanesulfonic acid, sodium salt (1:1), but it is confirmed that the substance used is correctly assigned to CAS 68188-18-1.

Females: 720 mg/kg 0/5, 900 mg/kg 1/5 (after 7 hours), 1000 mg/kg 3/5 (after one night), 1440 mg/kg 3/5 (after 6 to 48 hours), 1620 mg/kg 5/5 (within 24 hours), 2000 mg/kg 5/5 (by 28 hours), 2880 mg/kg 5/5 (by 28 hours). - Clinical signs:
- other: Non-specific signs of toxicity were observed, including general depression, ruffled fur and dyspnoea. These signs tended to persist longer in the higher dosages where animals survived the investigation period.
- Gross pathology:
- Gross necropsy observations were also non-specific in animals at termination. Rats which died during the first few days after dosing showed gastrointestinal lesions and some other congested organs. The cause of death of these animals might be related to the intestinal lesions. Histopathology was not performed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
An acute oral toxicity study was conducted according to OECD TG 401 on 5 male and 5 female rats per group receiving each a single dose (gavage administration) of the test substance dissolved in water. Dose groups were 720, 900, 1000, 1440, 1620, 2000 and 2880 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for signs of intoxication during a 14-days post-exposure period.
Non-specific signs of toxicity were observed, including general depression, ruffled fur and dyspnoea. The signs tended to persist longer in the higher dosages where animals survived the investigation period. Gross necropsy observations were also non-specific in animals at termination. Rats which died during the first few days after dosing showed gastrointestinal lesions and some other congested organs. The cause of death of these animals might be related to the intestinal lesions. Histopathology was not performed.
The LD50 was calculated to be 1271 mg/kg (95 % confidence limit 1104 -1462 mg/kg) for both sexes combined.
