Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not toxic
- Conclusions:
- The LC50 for the given test material Chloral Hydrate is found to be >100 ppm (>603mg/m3).
- Executive summary:
Mice were exposed to the test material chloral hydrate at a concentration of 100 ppm ( 603mg/m3) for 6 hours.
Inhalation exposure resulted in deep narcosis but following cessation of exposure, the animals regained consciousness. The following effects were induced in the lung: formation of vacuoles in the Clara cells, scaling off of the epithelium and pulmonary edema (increase of the lung weight by a factor of 1.5).
Acute inhalation study conducted shows that the LC50 for the given test material Chloral Hydrate is found to be >100 ppm (>603 mg/m3).
This value indicates thta the substance is not toxic via inhalation route and thus considered as Not classified for Acute toxicity inhalataion as per CLP classification criteria.
