Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) value was considered to be >3.66 mg/L air, when 12 male and female rats were treated with test chemical via inhalation route by dust form for 8 hours exposure.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 12 male and female rats at the dose concentration of 3.66 mg/L via inhalation route by dust form. The desiccator was used as inhalation chamber for animals in which source and rate of air was 200 ltr./air hours. The duration of exposure was 8 hours. Necropsy of survivors performed. After a week the animals were killed and dissected. No mortality was obseved at 3.66 mg/L air concentration in treated rats. Red colored fur was observed. Therefore, LC50 value was considered to be >3.66 mg/L air, when 12 male and female rats were treated with test chemical via inhalation route by dust form for 8 hours exposure.
