Additional information

Oral:

A study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity of the read-across substance, benzenesulfonic acid, C10-13-alkyl derivs., sodium salts, according to OECD Guideline 401. The test substance was administered to male and female rats by oral gavage at doses of 0, 1075, 1220, 1360 or 1710 mg/kg bw (active ingredient). Animals were observed for 14 d after dosing. Body weights were measured on Days 7 and 14. Necropsies were performed at the end of the study. Almost all animals died at doses of 1220 mg/kg bw and above. Symptoms beginning about 30 min post administration included diarrhea, squatting, breathing difficulties, nose bleeding, ataxia, and lethargy. These symptoms disappeared in surviving animals by 120 h. No effects on body weight were seen. In the animals that died before the end of the study, red mucous was seen in the stomach and intestine. In the surviving animals, hyperemia of the stomach was noted, along with abnormalities of the stomach, liver, spleen, kidneys, and the peritoneum. Under the study conditions, the acute oral LD50 of the substance was determined to be 1080 mg/kg bw in rats (Murmann, 1984).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of an acute oral toxicity study with the read-across substance, benzenesulfonic acid, C10-13-alkyl derivs., sodium salts

in the rat, the substance warrants Acute Tox 4 - H302 (Harmful if swallowed) classification according to EU CLP (EC) 1272/2008 criteria.
