Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 0.515 - < 1 mg/L air (analytical)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Mortality:
- 2 males and 2 females died at 2.02 mg/L.
3 males and 1 female died at 1.09 mg/L.
2 males died at 0.515 mg/L. - Clinical signs:
- other: At 2.02 mg/L two males died on the day of the exposure, clinically they were observed to have deep or noisy breathing; in addition one male was noted as having reduced activity with a hunched posture and closed eyelids. There were also two decedent female
- Body weight:
- Bodyweight losses were observed in the surviving males from Groups 1 and 3 up until Day 4, after which growth was observed until Day 15.
Bodyweight losses were observed in all surviving females on the day following the exposure; recovery was evident by the next weighing occasion after which growth continued until Day 15.
In all decedent animals the terminal bodyweights were lower than the weights recorded prior to the start of the exposure. - Gross pathology:
- The macroscopic examinations performed revealed a number of findings in the lungs. These comprised dark discoloration, incomplete collapse, firmness, adhesions and some pale areas in animals treated with 2.02 or 1.09 mg/L, many of which were found dead. Associated findings such as fluid in the thorax and gaseous distension of the gastrointestinal tract were also seen in some animals at these exposure levels.
A few pale areas in the lungs were observed in the four terminal animals treated with 0.515 mg/L. Enlargement of the tracheobronchial lymph nodes was also noted in these animals. The two decedent animals at 0.515 mg/L showed dark discoloration, incomplete collapse and firmness of the lungs consistent with the findings observed in the other groups.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category III
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study the LC50 (4-hour) of BMI is in excess of 0.515 mg/L but not exceeding 1 mg/L for male and female rats.
