Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not toxic at a concentration of 2.25 mg/l in air as dust upon 4 hours of inhalation.
Executive summary:

Groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were exposed by inhalation to Dechlorane Plus 25 at a concentration of 2.25 mg/l as dust in air for 4 hours. No treatment-related effects were observed. The NOEL was determined at 2.25 mg/l. Dechlorane Plus 25 was not toxic by inhalation.
