Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of 1,3 - cyclohexanedione was found to be between 1.6 and 2.5g/Kg bodyweight

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of 1,3 - Cyclohexanedione to rats was determined by oral intubation of a range of dosages of a 10%w/v test solution. The dosage volume range was 4.0 to 40ml/Kg bodyweight. The observation period was 14 days during which time a record was kept of all mortalities and signs of mortality. The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of 1,3 - cyclohexanedione was found to be between 1.6 and 2.5g/Kg bodyweight
