Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The LD50 value was considered to be 2210 mg/kg bw,when mice were treated with Sodium carbonate (497–19–8) by dermal application.
Executive summary:

In acute dermal toxicity study,mice were treated with Sodium carbonate(497–19–8)in the concentration of 2210 mg/kg bw by dermal application.50% mortality was observed in treated mice at dose 2210 mg/kg bw.Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be 2210 mg/kg bw,when mice were treated with Sodium carbonate(497–19–8)  by dermal application.
