- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 01.10.1986 - 23.10.1989
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Guideline study, reliable with acceptable restrictions. Minor deviations: - Purity and stability are missing - Note: In the study, a higher mortality rate was found for a lower dose (68.1 mg/kg) than for the next higher dose (100.0 mg/kg). This was not explained in the study neither could an explanation be derived. - The calculation of the LD50 was not clear. In the study only approx. values were stated and not exact values. For this reason, ranges were stated for the LD50 in this IUCLID entry. One problem with the results provided as ranges was that the classification according the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 caused the test item to fall into two different categories (category 2 and 3). - According to the guideline, the 95 per cent confidence interval for the LD50 should be stated. This was missing in this report. - According to the guideline, the number of animals displaying signs of toxicity should be stated. In this study report it was stated that clinical signs were observed, but not how many animals showed these signs. - According to the guideline, the body weight should be determined weekly and at death. In this study the body weight was determined on day 7 and 13, and not weekly and on the day of sacrifice (day 14). - Individual weights and weight changes were not stated, which according to the guideline should be determined. - According to the guideline, healthy young adults should be used. The age of the rats were missing in this report.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category III
- Remarks:
- Migrated information according to GHS Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- An LD50 range >100 and <215 mg/kg bw could be derived for sodium hydrogensulfide (70 %) from this study. An estimated LD50 value has been calculated as 115 mg/kg for males and females. According to the criteria specified by Directive 67/548/EC, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations the test item is toxic and requires classification (T; R25 according to 67/548/EEC and toxic category III according to GHS). The calculated LD50 of 105 mg/kg bw for NaHS, 77 % would lead to the same classification.
- Executive summary:
The results indicate that the LD50 calculated for the most concentrated commercial form NaHS, 77 %, would be 105 mg/kg bw.
