Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
2008
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Only information of a secondary source is available (SIAR 2008).
Justification for type of information:
Read-across from soluble to the poorly soluble barium compound is considered acceptable because toxicokinetic data on the poorly soluble barium carbonate indicates a markedly lesser bioavailability than the soluble barium chloride. However, it is to be concluded that this read-across will likely lead to rather conservative no-effect levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to the SIAR , an acute dermal toxicity study on barium chloride was conducted under OECD TG 402 in compliance with GLP: in this study, the dermal LD50 was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. However, the primary source for this study is not available: the SIAR refers to a NIER report dated 2008.
