- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Animals had free access to pelleted A04 C diet.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Filtered water provided ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 ± 2 ºC
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): 12 of non-recycled air.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2nd August 1995 To: 16th August 1995

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 5 cm x 6 cm for females, 5 cm x 7 cm for males.Calculated according to Meeh's formula.
- % coverage: ca. 10 %
- Type of wrap if used: Hydrophilic gauze pad applied to skin and held in place by adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and restraining bandage. The dressing prevented the animals from ingesting the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The 24 hours dermal LD50 for 1-bromopropane was found to be > 2000 mg/kg/bw in rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (13113 TAR), 5 male and 5 female 8 week old Sprague Dawley rats with males weighing 283 ± 16 g and females weighing 233 ± 10 g were dosed with a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. A gauze pad was applied and then held in place with a semi-occlusive dressing. No dose related changes occurred during the 14 day observation period.

The 24 hours dermal LD50 for 1-bromopropane was found to be > 2000 mg/kg/bw in rats.
