Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Duration of exposure:
4 h
Remarks on duration:
single exposure time for each of 3 group
Concentrations:
1. 1st group of 6 rats: range 2.2 - 11 mg/l, mean 4.8 mg/l, standard deviation 3.1 mg/l; particle size 73% respirable, mass median diameter 2.0µ
2. 2nd group of 6 rats: range 1.7 - 21 mg/l, mean 12 mg/l, standard deviation 7.4 mg/l; particle size 45% respirable, mass median diameter 5.0µ
3. 3rd group of 6 rats: range 5 - 18 mg/l, mean 13 mg/l, standard deviation 3.8 mg/l, particle size 60% respirable, mass median diameter 8.3µ

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Remarks on result:
other: Lethal concentration not assignable since none of the rats of each group showed a lethal reaction at a concentration of 13 mg/l, the highest possible concentration generated under the experimental conditions
Mortality:
none of the rats of each group showed a lethal reaction at a concentration of 13 mg/l, the highest possible mean concentration generated under the experimental conditions
Body weight:
slight initial weight loss followed by gain of weight

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Interpretation of literature data
Conclusions:
The NOAEL of 13 mg/l is above the threshold for classification according to Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008, Directive 67/548/EEC respectively. Hence the substance is not needed to be classified.
