Any other information on results incl. tables

From 2 to 6 hours after application of the test substance,typical signs of intoxication (cyanosis, laboured breathing, sedation) were observed. The highest dose without findings was 100 µl (117 mg/kg bw) and the lowest lethal dose was 600 µl (702 mg/kg bw).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Undiluted 3-chloro-p-toluidine was applied on the shaved belly skin of rats for 4 hours in doses of 100 to 1000 µl/kg (117 to 1170 mg/kg bw). After 4 hours the substance was removed with water and soap. The animals were observed for 7 days.

LD50 (4 hours exposure) = 650 µl 3-chloro-p-toluidine/kg bw (= ca. 765 mg/kg bw).
