Acute Oral Toxicity (LD(50)) of CHF1 in Rats.

Abstract

The acute oral toxicity potential of CHF1 insect repellent was determined in rats by using the single dose method. LD1, LD50, and LD95 with their 95% confidence intervals were calculated by probit analysis. The LD50 for male rats was 4632 microliters/kg; the LD50 for female rats was 2495 microliters/kg. These results place the CHF1 formulation in the slightly toxic range. (Author)
