Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No mortality in guinea pigs after occlusive dermal exposure for 24 h to 4000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
The data are from secondary literature; no further details available than those documented above (e.g. no details about test substance, no data about number of animals or post exposure observation period).
Guinea pigs were dermally exposed to 4000 mg/kg bw for 24 h. An occlusive coverage was used. No mortality was found; no systemic toxicity was detected. Only slightly to moderately irritating effects were reported. But skin absorption is not excluded from these results comparing with effective dose levels in acute oral toxicity.
Conclusion: No mortality in guinea pigs after occlusive dermal exposure for 24 h to 4000 mg/kg bw.
