Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The LC50 of 2-methylfuran (4h) was determined to be 5.8 mg/L (1700 ppm) in an inhalation toxicity study of a single 4 hours exposure to rats.
- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study rats were exposed to 2-methylfuran in a single application over 4 hours.
No further details on the study design were given and it was not specified if any guideline was followed.
The LC50 was determined to be 5.8 mg/L (1700 ppm) in this acute inhalation study. The test substance was rated as moderately toxic by the authors of the study.
