Any other information on results incl. tables

No mortality was observed at 100 -200 mg/kg.

The lowest dose causing mortality LD20 was 300 mg/kg (20 %)

The lowest dose causing totally the mortality LD100 was 700 mg/kg (100%).

Due to the local effect it might be possible to identify a LOAEL of 300 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No mortality was observed at 100 or 200 mg/kg. LD20 was 300 mg/kg (20% mortallity ), and the lowest dose causing 100% mortality was 700 mg/kg.
Due to the local effect it might be possible to identify a LOAEL of 300 mg/kg.
