Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
In a study according OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) and GLP acute dermal toxicity was tested by applying 2000 mg/kg bw as paste to the back of male and female rats for 24 hours. No clinical signs of systemic reaction to treatment and no dermal changes or irritation responses were observed. No animal died during the 14 day observation period.
The acute lethal dermal dose of paradichlorobenzene to rats was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight .
