Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-nitro-p-toluidine in rat (Rattus norvegicus) was found to be 1903 mg/kg of body weight. Acute toxicity of 2-nitro-p-toluidine to rat by the oral route indicates that the substance exhibits acute toxicity category IV by the oral route.
