- Statistics:
- no data
- Clinical signs:

- No differences in appearance or behavior among any of the four groups of animals were observed.
- Mortality:
- no mortality observed
- Description (incidence):
- No death during or after exposure and no differences in appearance or behavior among any of the four groups of animals were observed.
- Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Although there was no statistically significant decrease in body weight for any group of males after 4 weeks, subgroups exposed to 50 and 150 ppm of trifluoroethanol were significantly lighter than a control subgroup, which indicated that weight loss for the highly exposed groups was of borderline significance.

- Behaviour (functional findings):

- Immunological findings:
- not specified
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The male rats exposed to 150 ppm of Trifluoroethanol for 2 or 4 weeks had lowered mean testis weights and testis weight/body weight ratios. After 4 weeks of exposure to the test item, male rats exposed to 50 ppm also had decreased testis weights.
Treated females had elevated ovary weights relative to controls, but the difference was significant only for the group exposed to 10 ppm of test item. The ovary weight/body weight ratio increased by similar amounts for all non-control groups, but the increase for rats exposed to 150 ppm was not significant although it was nearly as high as for the other two non-control groups. Thus the gain in ovary weight due to test item appears to be of borderline statistical significance. It occurs rather sharply between 0 and 10 ppm and levels off for higher concentrations. - Gross pathological findings:
- not specified
- Neuropathological findings:
- not specified
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Histology of ovary revealed no differences in apperance attributable to the test item. Other tissues (26 types in all) from both males and females did not appear different from those of controls.
Among males sacrificed after both 2 and 4 weeks, those exposed to 50 ppm showed impairment of spermatogenesis and those exposed to 150 ppm showed hypospermatogenesis - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- not specified
- Other effects:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In functional tests, the remaining males were allowed to recover from 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol for about 10 days, and then each was supplied with a different female each week for 5 weeks, and conception rates were measured. For group exposed to 10 ppm, the rate was the same as for controls; for the males exposed to 50 ppm, it was 72% that of controls; and for the group exposed to 150 ppm, no conception occured. For the group exposed to 50 ppm, conception rates were lower than for controls during the first 3 weeks, reaching a minimum during the second week, and preimplantation losses followed an analogous pattern. Males were sacrificed 2 weeks later (for a total recovery period of 57 days) and their testes examined. Males exposed to 50 ppm showed normal spermatogenesis. Males exposed to 150 ppm also showed some recovery and some normal spermatogenesis.
- Critical effects observed:
- yes
- Lowest effective dose / conc.:

- System:
- male reproductive system
- Organ:
- seminiferous tubules
- testes
- Treatment related:
- yes
- Dose response relationship:
- yes
- Relevant for humans:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, a repeated inhalation exposure to 50 and 150 ppm of 2,2,2 trifluoroethanol caused body weight loss of male rats. The treated animals presented also effects on the reproductive systems: decrease of testis weight in male rats, and increase of ovary weight in females. The conception rates were decreased in males exposed to 50 and 150 ppm.
- Executive summary:
In a subacute inhalation toxicity study, rats (male and female) were exposed to 0, 10, 50 and 150 ppm of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol for 6 hours per day, for a period of 4 weeks (5 days/week). There is no detailed information on the exposure conditions, the number of animals in each group, the composition of the test item. The results are also not detailed (Kr.4).
Under the test conditions, a repeated inhalation exposure to 50 and 150 ppm of 2,2,2 trifluoroethanol caused body weight loss of male rats. The treated animals presented also effects on the reproductive systems: decrease of testis weight in male rats, and increase of ovary weight in females. The conception rates were decreased in males exposed to 50 and 150 ppm.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Conception rate was impaired in male rats pre-treated by repeated inhaltion of TFE at 50 ppm. When male rats were exposed to 150 ppm 6h/day, 5day/week for 4 weeks, no conception occured. When males were sacrificed after a total recovery period of 57 days post exposure for testis examination, rats exposed to 50 ppm showed normal spermatogenesis while rats exposed to 150 ppm showed some recovery and some normal spermatogenesis.
