Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The rodents were maintained on Purina Formulab Chow 5008.
The animals used in this study were Sprague-Dawley rats, 200-300 g

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
The test material was applied in the amount of 0.5 ml as aqueous solutions. Aqueous solutions were made up by diluting pure materials or concentrated solutions to give percentages by weight.
Control animals:
other: in this publication more than 50 different componds (inorganic and organic) were assessed of varying toxicity which can be perceived as controls.
Statistics:
Where appropriatethe Probit method was used for calculation.
