Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Remarks:

Mortality:
The rats showed a progressive depression and decrease in activity until death occurred. The toxicity was considerably greater when zirconyl acetate was administered intraperitoneally (compared to the oral gavage route).

Clinical signs:
No characteristic physiologic changes were observed.
Body weight:
No characteristic physiologic changes were observed.
Gross pathology:
No characteristic gross pathologic changes were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The acute LD50 value via the intraperitoneal route in rats is 300 mg/kg bw.
