- Executive summary:
The test conditions applied fulfilled recommendations of current test guidelines according to the OECD Guideline Nº 403 and EU method B.2, with regard to attainment of steady-state concentration, respirability of particles and the limit concentration tested. The aerosolized test substance proved to have virtually no acute inhalation toxicity to rats and mortality did not occurred even at levels of exposure exceeding significantly the limit concentration called for by the current testing guidelines applied. Combined experimental evidence, however, would suggest that the test substance has a mild respiratory tract irritation potential, if exposure to the aerosol is sufficiently high. Thus, for the test substance the LC50 is greater than 28150 mg/m3 (LAE in ethanol). The LC50 for LAE is greater than 5883 mg/m3 (analytical concentration).
