Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The LC50 value for acute inhalation toxicity test was considered to be >10600 mg/m3 in air when rats were exposed with Methyl benzoylformate by inhalation for 4 hour.
- Executive summary:
In acute inhalation toxicity study, 5 Rats were exposed to Methyl benzoylformate in the concentration of 10600 mg/ m3 inhaled as a Single dose for 4 hour.No mortality was observed at concentration 10600 mg/ m3. Therefore, LC50 value was considered to be >10600 mg/ m3 in air,when rats were exposed with Methyl benzoylformate by inhalation for 4 hour.
