The study of toxicological parameters and the determination of the toxicity class of the fodder additive from freshwater alga Lemna minium enriched with iodine
The article substantiates the necessity of conducting toxicological studies and establishment of the toxicity class of fodder additive from freshwater alga Lemna minor enriched with iodine, new approaches are described, and methods are described corresponding to the European requirements for conducting such research. As a result of the conducted studies it was established that the fodder additive does not cause irritating and dermonecrotic effect when applied to the skin of rabbits, and also does not cause irritating effects when applied to the mucous membrane of the eye of rabbit. It has been established that the fodder additive from freshwater Lemna minor enriched with iodine belongs to the 5th toxicity class according to EGS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling).
Key words: fodder additive, Lemna minor, irritant effect, dermonecrotic effect, mucous membrane, acute toxicity, toxic effect, laboratory animals.
