Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LOAEL in female rats exposed to the test material was determined to be 3 ppm.
Executive summary:

The LOAEL in female rats exposed to the test material was determined to be 3 ppm.

Effects noted were inflammatory changes consisting of hyperaemia and bronchitis which were observed in the respiratory system.

Fatty degeneration was observed at necropsy in animals killed after a 95-day exposure period. Inflamed eyes and nasal mucous membranes were observed in the last month of a 95-day inhalation study of tributyltin chloride in female rats.
