Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study. The concentrations in the air are nominal concentrations and were not measured by a specific analysis. From the data given in the report the nominal concentrations cannot be calculated (data on flow rate, volume missing).

nose only
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Born & Co, Mechanische Werkstatt Moehlin/Switzerland
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: separate radial polyvinylchloride tubes
- Source and rate of air: no data, different air rates to get different concentrations
- Temperature in the air chamber: 20°C


TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: no specific analytical method, weighing of the glass bottle filled with test substance before starting the test and afterwards; from the weight difference and the known air volume the test article concentration [mg/L] was calculated
- Samples taken from breathing zone: no


Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
6.5 mg/L
7.8 mg/L
9.3 mg/L
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observation hourly, after 24 h daily
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, necropsy
Statistics:
LOGIT estimation
