Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
Acute dermal LD50 value of the substance Phosphorous acid, triphenyl ester was determined to be in between the range of > 2000 - < 5000 mg/kg for New Zealand white rabbits.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity of the substance Phosphorous acid, triphenyl ester (CAS 101-02-0) was determined in New Zealand white rabbits as per the methods described in Section 1500.40 of the U.S. Federal Hazardous Substances Act Regulations, 16 CFF, pg. 123. [Comparable to OECD Test Guideline 402].  The sample was applied as supplied to the back of each animal at dose of 5.0 g/kg body weight. These treated areas were covered with large gauze patches and an impervious material was wrapped around the trunk of each animal. The dressings were removed after 24 hours and any excess material was removed. The animals were observed for a 21-day period for signs of toxicity and mortality. At a dose of 5 g/kg, all three males and females died. After 5-6 hours, the animals appeared cold, and lethargic. They became semi-comatose after 8 hours and deaths occurred over approximately 2-3 days after dosing. At 2 g/kg, no animals died and there were no remarkable findings, except for substantial skin irritation lasting over several days. Gross pathological examination revealed no remarkable findings. Thus, acute dermal LD50 value of the substance Phosphorous acid, triphenyl ester was determined to be in between the range of > 2000 - < 5000 mg/kg for New Zealand white rabbits.
