Acute Toxicity: dermal
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: dermal
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Read-across of data for an analogous chemical. The target chemical and the source chemical are very closely related alkyl acrylate compounds. They differ only by the addition of a methyl group in the butyl portion of the molecule. Both molecules are expected to be metabolized via the same hydrolysis and enzymatic pathways. The data from the source chemical are experimental results from well documented studies which meet basic scientific principles and are considered to be acceptable with restrictions.
