Technical Basis
A review of available sources identified acute rat toxicity data (LD50, LCLo) for oral and inhalation routes. Data sources were selected according to the hierarchy listed in Table 3.1. Toxicity data were selected according to type of exposure, species, and route according to the hierarchies stated in Sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and evaluated using factors in Tables 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. The most preferred route, a 4-hour rat LCLo, was selected as the TEEL-3 basis and was scaled to a 60-minute equivalent using the ten Berge equation (Section 3.3.4). TEEL-2 and TEEL-1 values were derived according to Table 3.5.
• PAC-1 = TEEL-1 = TEEL-2/11
• PAC-2 = TEEL-2 = TEEL-3/6
• PAC-3 = TEEL-3 = Rat LCLo (4000 ppm/4H)
This review generated PAC values consistent with Rev. 29A*.
