Additional information

In different studies, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) has been investigated for potential of acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rats and guinea pig for target chemical ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8)

Acute oral toxicity test was performed from Dictionary of Environmentally Important Chemicals, 1999 in rats at 333 mg/kg dose concentration After treatment it was considered that the LD 50 value for ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was considered to be 333 mg/kg in rats.

Supported study to the above key study the acute toxicity test was performed on guinea pig from Toxline,2017 at 0.50-0.75 gram (500 -750 mg) concentration. Some clinical symptoms were observed before autopsy and after death stomach full or containing a bloody, greenish pap like substance, the large intestine almost always full or soft, bloody, diarrheic fecal matter, small discolored spots in the liver approximately 4 millimeters in diameter; and Tardieu's spots in the lungs were observed. From the experiment, the LD 100 value for ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) was considered to be 500-750 gram to guinea pig.

Thus, based on the above studies on ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8), it can be concluded that LD50 value is lesser than 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) can be considered “classified in acute category 4” for acute oral toxicity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies on ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8), it can be concluded that LD50 value is lesser than 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, ammonium molybdate (13106-76-8) can be considered “classified in acute category 4” for acute oral toxicity.
