Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: rats were kept in separate PVC tubes
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The aerosol was generated by injecting the solid test material with the help of a "Grafix Exaktomat Injector" into an air stream which was discharged into the exposure chamber through a nozzle under a pressure of 2 atm. at a rate of 20 L/min.
- Temperature, humidity: temperature: 24°C; humidity: 46 %; oxygen: 20 Vol.%

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The concentration was determined gravimetrically by sampling the test atmosphere through a selectron filter of 50 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 µm (Schleicher and Schuell, Feldbach, Switzerland) at an air flow rate of 10 L/min. The size distribution of the particles was measured with a Cascade Impactor with selectron filters of 25 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 µm (Schleicher and Schuell) at an air flow rate of 17.5 L/min.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: about 36.7% above 7 µm; about 34.4% 3-7 µm; about 30% 1-3 µm; about 1% 0-1 µm
