Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Information about test method are missing and only short-term investigation with birds determining the acute lethal effect after oral application is available. This study cannot be used for the assessment

Any other information on results incl. tables

For 3,4-DCA a short-term investigation with birds determining the acute lethal effect

after oral application is available. After 18 hours a LD50 of 237 mg/kg bw/day for Red-winged

Black birds were obtained. 3,4-DCA was usually dosed by gavage with solutions or suspensions

in propylene glycol (Schafer et al., 1983). This study cannot be used for the assessment.
