Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
3,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate was diluted with Lutrol and administered, by intubation, to rats. The animals were given a volume equivalent to 0.5% of their body weight. Four groups of 5 males were given dose levels of 201, 342, 582 and 990 mg/kg and four groups of 5 females were given 41, 70, 118 and 201 mg/kg
GLP compliance:
not specified

Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

method: 3,4 -Dichlorophenyl isocyanate was diluted with Lutrol and administered, by intubation, to rats. The animals were given a volume equivalent to 0.5% of their body weight. Four groups of 5 males were given dose levels of 201, 342, 582 and 990 mg/kg and four groups of 5 females were given 41, 70, 118 and 201 mg/kg.

result: LD50(male) = 402 mg/kg bw; LD50(female) = 91 mg/kg bw
