Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Several actue toxicity studies are available. In the acute oral toxicity studies, the LD50 in rats and mice ranged from 660 to 1930 mg/kg bw. LC50 (0.5-4 h) in rats and Syrian hamsters ranged from 24 to 37 g/m3. It is therefore concluded that the acute toxicity of acetaldehyde is low. LD50 values by the dermal route were not available.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
These data based on the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) published under the joint sponsorship of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Labour Organisation, and the World Health Organisation (Environmental Health Criteria 167).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the data available, acetaldehyde is not classified according to 67/548/EEC (DSD) and 1272/2008/EEC (CLP).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
