Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the oral LD50 of Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda was ca. 1800 mg/kg in rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (similar to OECD TG 401; 1970), groups of Sprague Dawley rats (10 or 20/sex) were given a single oral dose of the test substance in an aqueous solution with traganth at 3200, 2500, 2000, 1600, 800 and 400 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. Mortality occurred from the 1600 mg/kg bw dose group onwards. Dyspnea and diarrhea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. Surviving animals recovered after 6 to 13 days. At autopsy, liquid filled stomachs and loose intestinal tracts were found. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the animals which were scheduled sacrificed. An approximated LD50 of ca. 1800 mg/kg bw was estimated.

As the acute oral LD50 was ca. 1800 mg/kg under the conditions of the test, Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda is classified as Acute tox. 4 (H302) according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and as harmful Xn, R22 according the Directive 67/548/CEE.
