2. 2nd group of 6 rats: range 1.7 - 21 mg/l, mean 12 mg/l, standard deviation 7.4 mg/l; particle size 45% respirable, mass median diameter 5.0µ
3. 3rd group of 6 rats: range 5 - 18 mg/l, mean 13 mg/l, standard deviation 3.8 mg/l, particle size 60% respirable, mass median diameter 8.3µ

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Remarks on result:
other: Lethal concentration not assignable since none of the rats of each group showed a lethal reaction at a concentration of 13 mg/l, the highest possible concentration generated under the experimental conditions
Mortality:
none of the rats of each group showed a lethal reaction at a concentration of 13 mg/l, the highest possible mean concentration generated under the experimental conditions
Body weight:
slight initial weight loss followed by gain of weight

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Interpretation of literature data
Conclusions:
The NOAEL of 13 mg/l is above the threshold for classification according to Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008, Directive 67/548/EEC respectively. Hence the substance is not needed to be classified.
