Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Executive summary:

References

The evaluation of Genetic toxicity reported from (Cavagnaro & Sernau, 1984) [1] in the WHO publication[2] has been considered in order to complete the assessment.

Method and observations

The substance was tested in rats (Sprague-Dawley) by means of unscheduled DNA Synthesis Assay in duplicate doses of 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 µg/ml. The high dose was selected on the basis of the solubility of the substance in DMSO. Positive medium and solvent controls confirmed the sensitivity of the system

Results

No significant increase in the mean nuclear grain count was observed at any dose level compared with the solvent control.
