Effect
Referencea
480 mg/kg in diet fatal
to 50% in 11 days.
1,740 mg/kg in diet for
5 days produced no effect
on behavior, no signs of
intoxication, and negative
necropsy.
Single oral LD-50 dose of
3,300 mg/kg BW.
Up to 34% dead embryos
at dose+5 ange of 0.01-
1 ug As /embryo;
threshold for malfor-
mations at dose range
0.03-0.3 ug/embryo.
Up to 8% dead at do?gg
range 0.01-1 ug As /
embryo; threshold for
malformations at dose
range 0.3-3 ug/embryo.
Teratogenic to embryos
when injected at 1 to
2 mg/e99.
Developmental abnormal-
ties at embryonic injected
doses of 1 to 2 mg/egg.
At dietary levels of 23.3
mg/kg, liver residues were
2.9 mg/kg FW at 9 weeks.
No ill effects noted.
At 18.7 mg/kg diet for
9.weeks, liver residues
of 2.4 mg/kg FW. Those
fed diets containing
187 mg/kg for 9 weeks
had no ill effects; liver
content of 7.5 mg/kg FW.
