Toxicological information

Eye irritation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Remarks:
other: Single application to rabbits eye
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Justification for type of information:
Saturated perfluorocarbons have very similar toxicological properties and so a "read across" approach is justified.
Note that this is old data from testing done in 1996.
