Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Study period:
1975
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
This study was performed by a CRO known for falsifying data. Therefore, the quality of this study cannot be judged. However, since acute toxicity data on the inhalation route is not required according to Annex VIII of regulation (EC) 1907/2006, this IBT study is disregarded.

Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF ATMOSPHERE
Vapor was generated by bubbling a stream of clean, dry air (-40°C dewpoint) through the undiluted test material. The resulting air-vapor mixt\ire was introduced into the exposure chamber at the top center, dispersed by a baffle plate and exhausted at the bottom of the chamber. The vapor generator was of all-glass construction and was linked to the exposure chamber by a short length of Tygon tubing. The air flow rate through the system was measured with a rotameter connected upstream of the generator. The rotameter was calibrated with a wet-test meter after the exposure was. completed. The average nominal vapor concentration was calculated by dividing the generator weight loss by the total volume of air used during the test.

EXPOSURE
Test animals were exposed in a specially constructed inhalation chamber. The chamber was designed so that the animals could be introduced into the test atmosphere after 99 percent of the maximum vapor concentration was established. Each animal was caged separately during exposure to minimize filtration of inspired air by animal fur.
