Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute toxicity study rats were administered orally with niobium pentoxide. The oral LD50 exceeds 10000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study published by Davidova, 1991, rats were orally treated with niobium pentoxide. The LD50 value was presented to be greater than 10000 mg/kg bw. Based on comparable low solubility, niobium pentoxide is considered a suitable read across partner for niobium carbide.
