Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Details on exposure:
Mice were exposed to vapor concentrations
of 0 (5 mice/sex), 50,000 (5 mice/sex) or 150,000 ppm (15 mice/sex) for 6
hours in a dynamic air-flow chamber.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
6 hours
No. of animals per sex per dose:
0 (5 mice/sex), 50,000 (5 mice/sex) or 150,000 ppm (15 mice/sex)
Positive control(s):
no data

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Mice were sacrificed and bone marrow
was examined for micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes at 24 hours
after treatment with 50,000 ppm, and 24, 48, or 72 hours after treatment
with 150,000 ppm.
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
no data
Evaluation criteria:
examination of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes
Statistics:
no data

Results and discussion

Additional information on results:
The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic
erythrocytes did not increase in any of the treatment groups, indicating
that Arcton 22 was not clastogenic in mice under the conditions of this
assay.

Any other information on results incl. tables

no data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): other: not clastogenic
Executive summary:

In a test for

clastogenicity mice were exposed to vapor concentrations of 0 (5 mice/sex), 50,000 (5 mice/sex) or 150,000 ppm (15 mice/sex) for 6 hours in a dynamic air-flow chamber. The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes did not increase in any of the treatment groups.So it was considered that Arcton 22 was not clastogenic in mice under test conditions.
