Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Consistent with Environmental Protection Agency's Guidelines for registering pesticides in the U.S.: Hazard evaluation: Humans and Domestic Animals, Fed. Reg. 43:163 37336-37402 (1978). and OECD Guidelines (1981)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Sprague-Dawley albino rats were used for test purposes. The test material was either dissolved or suspended in a suitable vehicle. The test material was administered in single doses by means of the gavage tube. A minimum of ten animals were used for each dose level. The animals were fasted for 16-18 hours prior to treatment. The animals were observed for at least 14 days after treatment for mortality and signs of toxicity. Necropsies were performed on all animals that died during the study (with the exception of cannabalized animals) and on all survivors.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 for Fyrquel EHC (Trixylenyl Phosphate) given to male albino rats was >5000 mg/kg. Commonly observed adverse clinical signs included depression, piloerection, wet fur, diarrhea, yellow anogenital stains, evidence of excessive urination, and red facial stains. All rats
appeared normal at necropsy.
The acute oral LD50 for Fyrquel EHC (Trixylenyl Phosphate) given to female albino rats was >5000 mg/kg. Commonly observed adverse clinical signs included depressions piloerection, ataxia, evidence of excessive urination, and red-stained muzzles. All rats appeared normal at necropsy.
Executive summary:

The acute oral LD50 for male and female albino rats was > 5000 mg/kg body weight. Commonly observed adverse clinical signs included: Mild to moderate depression, piloerection, ataxia (female rats only), wet fur (male rats only), diarrhea (male rats only), yellowish anogenital stains (male rats only), evidence of excessive urination and red facial stains. All rats appeared normal at necropsy.
