Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of alpha-pinene was estimated in male and female rats. Since the LD50 was found to be 3700 mg/kg body weight it can be assumed that alpha-pinene is of low acute oral toxicity.
Executive summary:

The acute oral LD50 of alpha-pinene was estimated in male and female rats. Since the LD50 was found to be 3700 mg/kg body weight it can be assumed that alpha-pinene is of low acute oral toxicity.
