Acute Toxicity of Thionyl Chloride Vapor for Rats
Abstract
Rats were exposed to thionyl chloride vapor for one hour to determine the acute inhalation toxicity of this compound. The thionyl chloride was completely hydrolyzed to sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride gases when evaporated in air. The calculated LD50 expressed as thionyl chloride was 500 ppm for a one hour single exposure and the acute toxicity of the hydrolyzed mixture was comparable to a theoretical calculation for additive effects of the mixture. The acute toxicity of thionyl chloride appears to be much lower than previously reported.
