Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Single Vapor Exposure: Six male rats were exposed for one, four or eight hours to concentrations ranging from 40 to 23000 ppm. The nominal concentrations were calculated by the standard gas concentration formula of Jacobs and were also checked by chemical analysis. Glass bottles of 1 liter capacity containing distilled water were connected with the sampling port of the chamber, and the vapour drawn through the water by suction. To this aqueous sample was added 0.01 N bromine in acetic acid, in the presence of mercuric acetate catalyst. The excess bromine was reduced by iodide and the iodine titrated with 0.01 N thiosulfate according to the method of Reid and Beddard.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category I
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The LC50 of Allyl alcohol to rats was 124 ppm or 0.297 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
In the acute inhalation experiments, six male rats were exposed for one four or eight hours to concentrations ranging from 40 to 2300 ppm. The exposure to the test item was accompanied by an appearance of anxiety, lacrimation and tremors. Diarrhea occured before death and coma occasionally preceded the death. The common gross findings in rats that died were edema and congestion of the lungs (confirmed microscopically), visceral congestion and discolored livers, some with necrotic areas. The kidneys were swollen and discolored. The LC50 of 1, 4 and 8 hours were 795, 124 and 57 ppm respectively (included 25 % loss of allyl alcohol, as stated in the chemical analysis).
