Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5067183
The acute oral LD/sub 50/ values for 5,6,7,8 tetrafluro-1,4 benzodioxin for mice and rats are less than 5 gkg. According to classical guidelines, the material is considered slightly toxic in both species. The sensitization study in the guinea pig did not show the material to have potential sensitizing properties. Skin application studies on the rabbit demonstrated that it was cutaneously mildly irritating. This material was very mildly irritating in the rabbit eye application studies. 4 refs., 2 tabs.
