Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Wistar albino rats were checked for health issues and acclimatised for at least 7 days prior to test initiation. They were housed in controlled humidity and temperature conditions in a day/night cycle. Equal numbers of males / females were used and weighed prior to the test. Ten rats were used. They were placed in a 95litre plexglass chamber. Air flow was 5l/min and the test material was introduced via this air stream at a static concentration of 200mg/litre for a period of 1 hour. After exposure the rats were returned to their cage and observed for signs of pharmacotoxic effects and mortality 1,3,6 and 24 hours after exposure and then daily for 14 days. After this time the rats were euthenased and subjected to gross necropsy.
GLP compliance:
yes
Test type:
fixed concentration procedure
