Description of key information
D-phenothrin was tested for acute toxicity via oral, dermal and inhalation route. No mortality or clinical signs of toxicity was observed in any of these acute toxicity studies.
Acute oral txicity:
A study according to guideline of OECD NO 423 (December 2001) was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats. d-Phenothrin in 0.5% (w/v) carboxymethl cellulose was applied to Wistar rtas as single oral gavage, using intubation cannula. The first set (set I) of three female rats was given a single dose of 2000 mg d-Phenothrin/kg body weight. No mortality was observed at this dose level; hence the second set of 3 female rats (set II) was administered with same dose. As no mortality was observed, further testing was not required. No clinical symptoms or mortalities were observed in the rats treated with 2000 mg d-Phenothrin/kg body weight. The rats sacrificed at termination did not reveal any lesion of pathological significance.
The acute oral median lethal dose LD50 (cut off value) of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats was found to be 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Acute dermal toxicity:
A study according to guideline of OECD N° 402 (February 1987) was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats. Two groups of rats, each comprising of 5 males and 5 females were randomly selected for the study. One group (group I) served as the control and was treated with distilled water, whereas the other group (group II) was given a limit dose of 2000 mg d-Phenothrin/kg bw by dermal application and observed for a period of 14 days. No clinical symptoms or mortality were observed in the rats from either the control or the treatment group. All the rats, at the end of the observation period, were sacrificed and subjected to gross pathological examination, not revealing any lesion of pathological significance.
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Acute inhalation toxicity:
A study according to guideline of OECD N° 403 (May 1981) was performed to assess the acute inhalation toxicity (LC50) of d-Phenothrin in Wistar rats. Two groups of rats, each consisting of five males and five females were used for the study. Rats from Group I were exposed to air only and served as the control group, whereas rats from Group II were exposed to the maximum achievable breathing zone concentration (5.301 mg/L air) of d-Phenothrin. Rats were exposed for 4 hours followed by observation for a period of 14 days. All the rats from the control and the treatment group appeared normal throughout the experiment period. The mean body weight of rats belonging to the treatment group was comparable to that of the control group. The rats, sacrificed terminally from the control and the treatment group did not reveal any pathological abnormality.
At the maximum achievable breathing zone concentration (5.301 mg/L air) of d-Phenothrin, no mortality was observed. Hence, the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (LC50) of d-Phenothrin was concluded to be greater than 5.301 mg/L air.
In summary it can be concluded that based on studies available no acute toxicity to rodents is expected.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on results for acute toxicity studies following oral, dermal and inhalation exposure to limit concentrations, as required according to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008), it can be concluded that no acute toxicty to rodents was seen and the substance d-Phenothrin is not subject to classification for acute toxicity.
