Mortality:

Clinical signs:
other: Mucous stools in 2/3 and 3/3 animals in experiments 1 and 2 respectively at 1 to 3 hours after dosing or on the following day of administration. Mucous stools 2/3 animals in experiment 3 at 1 and 2 hours after dosing. Soiled periproctal region in 1/3 and
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities observed at necropsy including the dead animals.
Other findings:
Death was considered to be caused by actions on the central nerve system or emaciation due to deterioration of general conditions.

In surviving animals in experiments 1 and 2, mucous stool or soiled periproctal region all disappeared by 2 days after administration. Although the decreased body weight or suppressed body weight gain was noted on the following day of administration, favorable increased gain was observed on 3 days after administration or later in experiments 1 and 2.

The LD50 cut off value of TCD was estimated to be 500 mg/kg under the conditions of this study.

the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The LC50 value was calculated at 500mg/kg, according to the CLP criteria this value falls under Acute Oral toxicity Category 4 -Harmful if swallowed.

For the dermal study the LC50 value was >2000mg.kg therefore TCD does not meet criteria for classification according to CLP for dermal toxicity.

The is not inhalation data available therefore classification is not possible for inhalation toxicity.

Overall the substance is classified as Acute Oral toxicity Category 4 -Harmful if swallowed.
