Technical Basis
A review of available sources identified LCLo toxicity data for mouse, guinea pig, and rabbit species. Toxicity data were selected according to type of exposure, species, and route based on the hierarchies stated in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and factors in Tables 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. The most preferred species, mouse, was selected as the basis for a TEEL-3. The concentration was time-scaled to a 60-minute basis using the ten Berge equation (Section 3.3.4). TEEL-2 and TEEL-1 estimates were calculated from this TEEL-3 value, according to Table 3.5.
• TEEL-1 = TEEL-2/11
• TEEL-2 = TEEL-3/6
• TEEL-3 = Estimated from mouse 7-hr LCLo (1807 ppm)
This review generated TEEL values with slight differences, compared to those published in Rev. 29A. Rev. 29A cites a comparable source (rat 420-minute LC50); this data was not able to be verified.
