Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The acute inhalation toxicity dose (LC50) value was considered to be >200 mg/L (>200000 mg/m3), when 10 rats were treated with test chemical by inhalation route for 1 hour exposure.
Executive summary:

Acute inhalation toxicity study of test chemical was conducted in 10 rats at the dose concentration of 200 mg/L (200000 mg/m3) for 1 hour exposure. 1 out of 10 rats died within the 14 day-observation period. Therefore, LC50 value was considered to be>200 mg/L (>200000 mg/m3), when 10 rats were treated with test chemical by inhalation route for 1 hour exposure.
