Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) value was considered to be 645 ppm (645000 mg/m3), when rats were exposed with test chemical via inhalation route by vapors for 7 hrs.
Executive summary:

Acute Inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in rats at the concentration of 645 ppm by inhalation route via vapors for 7 hours. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs. 50% mortality was observed. Toxic effects were not observed. Hence, LC50 value was considered to be 645 ppm (645000 mg/m3), when rats were exposed with test chemical via inhalation route by vapors for 7 hrs.
