Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The publication of Walum et al. states a LD50 value of 613 mg/kg bw for rats.
Executive summary:

The publication was used to analyse the predictive power of animal tests for human toxicity. The Scandinavian Society of Cell Toxicology used lithium sulfate as one out of 50 reference substances. The LD50 value for rats was determined out of several studies and defined as 613 mg/kg bw.
