EC number: 233-058-2 | CAS number: 10026-11-6
Acute Toxicity: oral
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Adequacy of study:
- disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: ZrCl4 is administered via the drinking water and under this condition, ZrCl4 is directly decomposed into ZrOCl2 and HCl. So during the experiment, the degradation products of ZrCl4 are ingested but not ZrCl4 itself.
Cross-reference
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Any other information on results incl. tables
The rats died during the first 24 hours showed convulsions. The rats died after the first day and before the last day of observation showed inappetance, weight loss and prostration.
At certain concentrations, cerebral and pulmonary disorders are observed.
Post-mortem examination showed often intestinal necrosis and sometimes pulmonary necrosis.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditon of this study, the LD50 of ZrCl4 is 438 mg/kg bw. But ZrCl4 is administered via the drinking water and ZrCl4 is decomposed into ZrOCl2 and HCl. So during the experiment, the degradation products of ZrCl4 are ingested but not ZrCl4. This study is not relevant for ZrCl4.
