- Interpretation of results:
- practically nontoxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- No toxic effects of the test substance were noted by signs in life and post mortem at a dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg body weight.The LD50 is >2000 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxic class (ATC) method according to the EU- and OECD-guidelines was applied to investigate the acute oral toxicity of sodium phenoxyacetate in rats.
No toxic effects of the test substance were noted by signs in life and post mortem at a dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg body weight. No mortality occurred. As no animals died, the oral LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Reference
All animals survived until the scheduled termination. No signs of toxicity, attributable to the action of the test substance, were observed in life or post mortem. No difference between the sexes was noted in the response to the test substance. Due to the results obtained in this study the LD50 (oral) in rats of both sexes is higher than 2000 mg of "HACA" per kg body weight.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- Guideline study. The LD50 is not 2000 mg/kg, as one is forced to enter in the field above, but the LD50 > 2000 mg/kg.
Acute toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
