Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LC50 for acute inhalation exposure to MRD-94-979 vapor is greater than 6100 mg/m3. Classification as an acute inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, isoalkanes, cyclics, <2% aromatics based on analogue read across.

MRD-94-979 was administered via individual inhalation chambers for four hours to ten Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males, 5 females) to an average actual vapor concentration of 6100 mg/m3 for four hours to assess acute inhalation toxicity. Animals were observed for fourteen days following exposure.  There were no mortality or gross pathological alterations noted in any of the animals.  Based on the conditions of this study, The LC50 for acute inhalation exposure to MRD-94-979 vapor is greater than 6100 mg/m3.  Classification as an acute inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
