Additional information

Oral

An acute oral toxicity test was carried out on groups of young adult rats at dose levels of 5 gms/kg bodyweight. No deaths and no overt signs of toxicity were observed during the fourteen day observation periods. No toxicity was observed in the study at the limit of 5 gms/kg bw. The LD50 was therefore greater than 5 gms/kg bodyweight.

Dermal

In the study, 4 animals were dosed at 5 mg/kg bodyweight and observed for 14 days. No toxicity was seen in the 4 animals during the 14 day observation period.

Symptomatology: Mild erythema on rabbits lasting 24 hours. No toxicity was observed in the study at the limit of 5 gms/kg bw. The LD50 was therefore greater than 5 gms/kg bodyweight.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No effects seen in either oral or dermal studies. Substance considered not classified for toxic effects.
