Studies on the Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate

Abstract

The author investigated the toxicity and the biological changes occurred when linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) was orally administered.
In the acute toxictiy using mouse, LAS has an LD₅₀ was 2.30g/kg and a 95% reliable range was 1.52 to 3.55g/kg.
Body weights of rats increased normally in the LAS conditioned group as same as in the control group.
In the LAS administerd group, pathologic changes were not remarkable.
