Additional information
Acute oral toxicity study with the rat (key study)
The study was performed to determine the acute toxicity following oral administration of the test item applied as a suspension in 0.5% aqueous CMC preparation with 2 - 3 drops Cremophor EL, in Wistar rats. The study procedure was based on BASF internal testing standards. To a group of 20 fasted animals (5 males, 5 females per dose) a single oral dose of the test material preparation at dose levels of 1000 and 4640 mg/kg bw was given. No mortalities or other signs of toxicity were noted. The expected body weight gain has been observed in the course of the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals sacrificed at the end of this study. Under the conditions of this study the median lethal concentration of the test item after oral application was found to be greater than 4640 mg/kg bw for the male and female animals.
Acute inhalation toxicity (supporting information)
For determination of the acute inhalation toxicity (single 8-h-exposure) of the test item as a dust, a study with 3 male and 3 female Wistar rats was performed according to the method described in H.F. Smyth and C.P. Carpenter, J. Ind. Hyg. Toxicol. 28, 1944. The maximum attainable dust concentration of 1.16 mg/L (nominal) was tested. No mortality occurred at this concentration. The 8h-LC50 for male and female animals therefore is > 1.16 mg/L. No clinical signs or pathologic findings at necropsy were reported. Body weight development of the animals was not influenced. These data are only considered as orientating information about the inhalation hazard (no analytical verification of the test item concentration, 8 h exposure time, no GLP).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Scientifically acceptable study report.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Only orientating information about the inhalation hazard (no analytical verification of test item concentration, 8 h exposure time, no GLP)
