Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other:
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation LC50 for isononanol is >3 mg/l for mice and rats.
Executive summary:

Neodecanoic acid was administered via a vapor inhalation to 10 each of mice, rats, and guinea pigs at the nominal concentration of 3 mg/l for 6 hours.  Clinical observations were made every 30 minutes during the exposure and daily thereafter for 14 days.  No significant signs of respiratory irritation were noted.  Alopecia and some weight loss were noted in the guinea pigs during the 14-day observation period.  Two guinea pigs died on the 2nd day, 1 on the 13th, and 2 on the 14th post exposure.  All mice and rats survived.  Based on these data it is concluded that the LC50 for mice and rats is greater than 3 mg/l.
