Any other information on results incl. tables

The 1 hour LC50 result of 27.8 mg/L was converted into a 4 hour LC50 result of 13.9 mg/L by dividing the 1 hour result by a factor of 2 (applicalbe for gases and vapours).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A 4-hour rat LC50 of 10.95 mg/L (2755 ppm) is reported.
Executive summary:

The actue inhalation toxicity of diallylamine was examined by exposure (vapour) to rats for 1, 4 and 8 hours.

Rats were exposed to diallylamine (vapour) for 1, 4 and 8 hours. The tested concentrations were:

1 hour exposure: 7000 ppm (27.8 mg/L)

4 hour exposure: 1500 - 5070 ppm (5.96 mg/L - 20.15 mg/L).

8 hour exposure: 450 - 1500 ppm (0.45 - 5.96 mg/L)

The following results are reported:

A 4-hour rat LC50 of 10.95 mg/L is reported.

No mortalities were observed after the 1 hour exposure and a 1 hour LC50 of 27.8 mg/L is reported. This converts to a 4 hour LC50 estimate of 13.9 mg/L.

A 8-hour LC50 of 3.16 mg/L is reported. This converts to a 4 hour LC50 estimate of 4.47 mg/L
