Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The inhalation risk test (IRT) was performed in principle as described in OECD Guideline 403. The aim of the test was to demonstrate the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapors of the volatile components of the test substance at a temperature chosen for vapor generation (i.e. 20 °C for the present test substance).
The animals were exposed to the test substance for 8 hours (flow-through, 200 liters/hour). The treatment was followed by an observation period of 7 days.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
other: IHT (Inhalation hazard test)

Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Rate of air: 200 l
- Method of conditioning air: Vapours were generated by bubbling air through a column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder.
- Temperature air chamber: 20°C


TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Inhalation hazard test
- Samples taken from breathing zone: no
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Remarks:
The nominal concentration can be calculated as quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss during the exposure and the amount of air used during the exposure.
Duration of exposure:
8 h
Concentrations:
6.925 (6.913-6.938) mg/l
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- The test was performed in two trials on two consecutive days under identical conditions with 6 animals per trial
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: daily observations for clinical signs; weighing prior to application and at the end of the observation period
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
