Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity: According to 'Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials', 11th edition, 'Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology', and Patty’s Toxicology, 6th Edition, (peer reviewed handbook data), the oral LD50 for rat is 200 mg/kg bw. According to 'The condensed chemical dictionary', 8th edition (peer reviewed handbook data), the test item is highly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Tolerance: 0.5ppm. According to 'The dictionary of substance and their effects', and 'Sax's Dangerous Properties of Indutrial Materials', 11th edition (peer reviewed handbook data), based on an acute oral toxicity study of the test item on quail (Coturnix coturnix), the oral LD50 for quail is 133 mg/kg bw. According to 'Patty’s Toxicology', 6th edition (peer reviewed handbook data), the oral LD50 for mice is 50 mg/kg bw. As the preferred species for acute oral toxicity studies is the rat, the key value is considered to be 200 mg/kg bw, based on the available information.

Acute Inhalatory Toxicity: No study was available. Supporting data: According to handbook data, a tolerance of 0.5 ppm in humans has been reported.

Acute Dermal Toxicity: Supporting study: According to 'Patty's Toxicology', 6th ed., dermal absorption in guinea pigs occurs readily for the test item, as indicated by an approximate LD50 of 500 mg/kg; deaths were accompanied by convulsions.

Acute toxicity, other routes: According to peer reviewed handbook data, the LC50 of the test item in mice is 35 mg/kg bw by intraperitoneal route, 70 mg/kg bw by intravenous route, and 23 mg/kg bw by intravenous route.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information (oral LC50 between 50 and 300 mg/kg bw), the test item is classified as Acute Oral Category 3, H301, according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Based on the available information (dermal LC50 between 200 and 1000 mg/kg bw), the test item is classified as Acute Dermal Category 3, H311, according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
