Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The results shows the 24 hour LD50 of iodide to rat was 3118 mg/kg bw which is higher than the criteria of 2000 mg/kg bw under the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
In one company study (A. Hausner, G. Weise, and A. Hofmann, 1980), the effects of iodide were studied in male and female Wistar rats. In the test, 10 male and 10 female in each dose and control groups were administrated with potassium iodide for 14 days at dose of 0 (control), 2000, 2500, 2800 3200, 3600, and 4000 mg/kg body weight mg/kg bw respectively. The key value of LD50 was calculated by Probit-analysis (Fink und Hund 1965).
The 24 hour LD50 of iodide to rats (male/female) was calculated to be 3118 mg/kg bw under test conditions.
7-14 days LD50 of iodide to rats (male/female) was calculated to be 2779 mg/kg bw under test conditions.
Besides of the results on mortality, some other non-lethal effects were also investigated. 5-15 min after application first symptoms of poisoning was observed. The main symptoms were: lethargy, exophthalmus, stagger, dypsnoe, ruffled fur. The symptoms could be observed in all dosing in the first 72h. Staggering was observed up to 5 days. The 2000mg/kg bw group showed no symptoms beside stagger after 48h. A part of the 2500mg/kg bw, 2800mg/kg bw and 3200mg/kg bw groups showed ventral position and paralysis of extremities in the period from 1-24h. Apart from stagger this group showed no symptoms after 72h.
The 3600mg/kg bw group showed ventral position and paralysis of extremities in the period from 1-24h. Slight symptoms of lethargy and dyspnoe could be observed up to 5 days after administration. Slight stagger could be observed up to 7 days after administration.
The 4000mg/kg bw group showed ventral position and paralysis of extremities in the period from 1-24h. Ventral position could be be observed temporarily up to 5 days. Symptoms of lethargy and dyspnoe could be observed up to 5 days after administration.
All surviving animals showed no symptoms after 7 days.
