Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category IV
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol in mouse was found to be 1100 mg/kg of body weight. Acute oral toxicity of tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol to mouse by oral route indicates that tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol exhibits acute toxicity by the oral route in the Category 4 which is relatively non toxic.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol in mouse was found to be 1100 mg/kg of body weight. Acute oral toxicity of tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol to mouse by oral route indicates that tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol exhibits acute toxicity by the oral route in the Category 4 which is relatively non toxic.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
