Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Previously unpublished data from the Denver Wildlife Research Center (DWRC) were derived primarily by the po methods described by DeCino et al. (1966), Schafer (1972), and Schafer et aÍ. (1967). Other methods of oral administration included force-feeding synthetic pellets (Pan and Caslick, 1966) or treated grain. Dermal toxicity was determined by the method described by Schafer et al. (1969). All test animals were adults unless noted in the table. LD50 values and 95 0/0 confidence limits were derived by the moving-point interpolation method described by Thompson (1948), Thompson and Weil (1952), and Weil (1952). The 4AP used was technical material of about 95% purity.
Methodology for other data can be found in the cited articles.
