Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category III
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LC50) of 3 -Chloroaniline in mouse by the inhalative route was found to be 550 mg/m3. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 3 -Chloroaniline exhibits acute toxicity via the inhalative route in category 3.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity study was conducted to evaluate the toxic effects of administration of 3-chloroaniline to mouse by the inhalative route.The mouse were given the test substance by the inhalative route at a dose concentration of 550 mg/m3 of 3-chloroaniline.The lethal concentration (LC50) of 3 -Chloroaniline in mouse was found to be 550 mg/m3. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 3 -Chloroaniline exhibits acute toxicity via the inhalative route in category 3.
