Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity study in rat by using Decane for exposure of 8 hr was considered to be 1369000 mg/m3.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using Decane in Sprague Dawley rats at the concentration of1369000 mg/m3. 50% mortality was observed at 1369000 mg/m3 when exposed for 8 hours. Therefore, LC50 was considered to be1369000 mg/m3 when rats were treated with Decane by inahaltion for 8 hours.
