Conclusions:
2,3-BUTANEDIOL (L) is not acute toxic via the oral route, i.e. the predicted LD50 (oral, rodent) >= 3380 mg/kg/d.
Executive summary:

Predicted results of models T.E.S.T. 4.2.1, ProTox II - oral toxicity and the Danish (Q)SAR Database indicated unambiguously that the test item is of no or very low acute toxicity to humans, i.e. the predicted LD50 (oral, rodent) >= 3380 mg/kg/d.

Additional information

No key study is available on acute toxicity for the submission substance. However, adequate and reliable data are reported here for a structural analogue (source substance 2,3 -butandiol). Please also refer to the read-across justification document.


Oral

In the available key study, the test article 2,3 -butandiol was administered to 10 rats (5 male and 5 female). Observation period was 14 days. The oral LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs observed were dyspnoea, apathy, staggering. [BASF 1980].

In a supporting study performed with the submission substance, predicted results of models T.E.S.T. 4.2.1, ProTox II - oral toxicity and the Danish (Q)SAR Database indicated unambiguously that the test item is of no or very low acute toxicity to humans, i.e. the predicted LD50 (oral, rodent) >= 3380 mg/kg/d.


Inhalation

In the available key study, no mortality was observed when 12 rats were exposed for 7 h to an atmosphere that has been saturated at 20°C with the volatile part of the compound (LC50 > 0,85 mg/l) [BASF, 1980]. 

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification and labelling for acute oral and inhalation toxicity is necessary according to the CLP regulation.
