Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Concentrations of 100 and 500 ppm were therefore well tolerated by males, while concentrations up to 2500 ppm were tolerated without negative effects by female rats.
Executive summary:

The toxic potential of the substance after a repeated exposure via the oral route was evaluated. Ten male and ten female Wistar rats were exposed to four dose levels (0 -100 -500 -2500 ppm) for 5 weeks.

Food and water intake, general behaviour and mortality were not affected by treatment. Growth was reduced only in male rats administered 2500 ppm.

Up to 2500 ppm, no damage to blood or organs have been observed.

No liver effects have been observed in clinic, anatomy, pathology and histopathology studies up to 2500 ppm.

No kidney effects have been observed in blood and urine analysis, and histopathological studies.

Glucose and cholesterol concentrations in plasma and sodium, potassium, calcium, inorganic phosphate and chlorine products in serum were in the normal range in all dose groups.

Pathology and anatomy analysis revealed no other damage to other organs related to the test item.

NOAEL (male) = 500 ppm

NOAEL (female) = 2500 ppm
