Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

5 male and 5 female Wistar rats (170 -200g) per group were treated in an acute inhalation toxicity test with the test substance for 4 hours.

The observation period was 14 days.

Symptoms of toxicity observed were: reduced motility, decelerated breathing, ruffled hair (occurred in the second half of the first week of the observation period); 2 females died after 4 days; macroscopical findings in female rats: hydrothorax, reddened renal pelvis, dark and enlarged spleen, pale liver with marked lobules, reddened gastrointestinal tract.

The LC50 for male rats was > 5,27 mg/l.

The LC 50 for female rats was ca. 5,27 mg/l.

The NOEL was 2,01 mg/l.
