Toxicological information

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
sub-chronic toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Non-guideline-conform investigations without GLP with several methodical deficiencies: (i) key information on test substance is missing such as purity, stability, particle size; (ii) test methodology is reported with inadequate details: insufficient description on animal treatment/husbandry, laboratory conditions and other experimental procedures, (iii) inadequate analytical verification of actual exposure concentrations, and lack of documentation of particle size distributions.
