Acute Oral Toxicity (LD50) of CHR 9 in Rats.

Abstract

The acute oral toxicity potential of triethylene glycol monohexyl ether (CHR9) a cadidate insect repellent, was tested in male and female rats exposed to dose levels ranging from vehicle control to 10 ml/kg body weight. Animals were single dosed and observed for 14 days. Only one female rat died during the observation period. No male rats died. There are no LD50 calculation or time of death curves for this study, due to the low toxicity of this chemical. The compound is considered practically non-toxic by the criteria of the National Research Council. (Author)
