Additional information

Acute toxicity (inhalation): LC50 > 5400 mg/L/4h. OECD Guideline 403*

Justification for classification or non-classification
Practically non-toxic. The acute oral toxicity is clearly less than the limit for classification as harmful. The LD50 is higher than the upper limit for classification (2000 mg/kg bw)
Pactically non-toxic. The LC50 is greater than 5400 mg/L
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
