Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 6 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Neither acute nor late mortalities occurred in any of the dosage groups.
- Clinical signs:
- other: The substance did not cause any remarkable symptoms which were due to the applicated compound.
- Gross pathology:
- No findings did occur in final autopsy and no pathological changes could be observed macroscopically.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The 24 -h LD50 was greater than 6000 mg/kg bw and after 14 days no late mortalities occurred. In the test dosages the substance did not cause any remarkable symptoms. In the final autopsy no clear anatomic-pathological changes occurred.
- Executive summary:
BHT was tested in an acute toxicity study after one oral application on the rat. Groups of 4 rats per sex per dose was administered doses of 3000 and 6000 mg/kg bw. The 24 -h LD50 was greater than 6000 mg/kg bw and after 14 days no late mortalities occurred. In the test dosages the substance did not cause any remarkable symptoms. In the final autopsy no clear anatomic-pathological changes occurred.
