Abstract

Oral LD50 values for pentachlorobenzene (QCB) in rats were 1125, 1080, and 940 mg/kg for adult males, adult females, and weaning females, respectively. The oral LD50 values in mice were 1175 mg/kg for males and 1370 mg/kg for females. Clinical signs of toxicity included tremors and narcosis. Dermal application of 2500 mg/kg did not produce clinical signs in rats.
