Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a OECD guideline study, to GLP, the acute dermal LD50 of tetramminepalladium(II) hydrogen carbonate was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of tetraamminepalladium(II) hydrogen carbonate was evaluated in an OECD Test Guideline 402 study, conducted according to GLP. The test material was applied to the shorn skin of Sprague-Dawley CD rats (5/sex), under a semi-occlusive covering, and removed (by gentle washing) after 24 hr.

 

There were no signs of systemic toxicity, mortality or pathological findings during the 14 -day observation period. Therefore, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
