Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) was considered to be >330 ppm (330000 mg/m3), when rats were exposed to Methane sulfonic Acid (CAS no: 75-75-2) by inhalation route.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using Methane sulfonic Acid (CAS no: 75-75-2) in rats at the concentration of330 ppm (330000 mg/m3). No mortality was observed at 330000 mg/m3. Therefore, LC50 was considered to be >330 ppm (330000 mg/m3), when rats were treated withMethane sulfonic Acid by inhalation.
