Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) in 10 Wistar male/female rat by using Sodium toluenesulphonate (12068-03-0) was considered to be >557000 mg/m3.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted by using Sodium toluenesulphonate (12068-03-0) in 10 Wistar male/female rat at the concentration of557000mg/m3. No mortality was observed at 557000 mg/m3.Therefore, LC50 was considered to be >557000 mg/m3, when Wistar male/female rat was treated with Sodium toluenesulphonate by inhalation.
