Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The LD50 is >10 mg/L air based on an acute inhalation toxicity study (1 hour exposure) in which no animals died.
Executive summary:

In an acute toxicity study the substance was administered to mice (5 animals/sex/dose) by inhaltion at a concentration of 10 mg/L air for 1 hour. No animals died. The inhalation LD50 in rats is >10 mg/L air.
