Recalculation based on the equation c(mg/m3) = molar mass (g) / molar volume (L) x c(mL/m3) with molecular weight (116.12 g/mol) and molar volume (24.1 L at 20 °C and 1013 hPa) [DFG, MAK List, Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2008].
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
not specified

Results and discussion

Mortality:
Exposure to 500 ppm (2.4 mg/L) for 4 hours was lethal for 5 out of 6 animals.
