EDTA-MnNa2 was administered by oral gavage to two subsequent groups of three female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15).
No mortality occurred. Piloerection or hunched posture were noted in all animals on Day 1. The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be similar to that expected of normal untreated animals of the same age and strain. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The oral LD50 value of EDTA-MnNa2 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight. According to the OECD 423 test guideline, the LD50 cut-off value was considered to exceed 5000 mg/kg body weight.

- Exposure chamber volume: ca. 50 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: in polycarbonate restraining tubes
- Source and rate of air: dry compressed air
- Method of conditioning air: test substance was diluted in water; as such compressed air became humidified
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: atomizing a solution of 650 g EDTA-MnNa2 per L water
- Method of particle size determination: 1- stage cascade impactor
- Treatment of exhaust air: filtered
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 23.4 ± 0.2 (23.1-23.6) degrees C; 86 ± 1% (84.9-86.6%); slightly positive pressure in central exposure cylinder; slightly negative pressure in surrounding hood
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: gravimetric analysis
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
VEHICLE
- Composition of vehicle (if applicable): water
- Concentration of test material in vehicle (if applicable): 650 g/L
- Justification of choice of vehicle: EDTA-MnNa2 is soluble in water; by atomizing a solution in water and evaporation of the water, respirable particles will be generated
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not applicable
- Purity: not applicable
TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: measured once before exposure and twice during exposure
- MMAD (Mass median aerodynamic diameter) / GSD (Geometric st. dev.):
measurement 1: MMAD = 3.3 µm, GSD = 2.8
measurement 2: MMAD = 3.2 µm, GSD = 2.5
measurement 3: MMAD = 3.3 µm, GSD = 2.4
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting concentration: no acute toxicity expected; therefore starting concentration for aerosol used, viz. 5 mg/L. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- no
- Remarks:
- not needed in case of gravimetry
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- 5.16 mg/L
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: days 0 (prior to exposure), days 1, 3, 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight - Statistics:
- Not needes; single exposure only
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 5.16 mg/L air
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Mortality:
- None
- Clinical signs:
- other: None during exposure. Shortly after exposure, slight sniffing was heard in one male and 2 females. A slightly soiled fur of the head was observed in all 3 females. No other abnormalities were seen.
- Body weight:
- On days 1 and 3, body weighth gain had slowed down. The overall body weight gain in 14 days was as expected for animals of the strain and age.
- Gross pathology:
- Petechiae were seen on both lobes of the thymus in one male. A petechia aws seen on one lung lobe of one female. These minor abnormalities were not considered to be related to the exposure.
- Other findings:
- None
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Because the 4-h LC50 was > 5.16 mg/L and signs observed during and after exposure were very limited, EDTA-MnNa2 is not toxic after inhalation and classification is not needed.
- Executive summary:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute inhalation toxicity of EDTAMnNa2 in rats. Therefore, three male and three female animals were exposed to a target concentration of 5 g/m3 during a single period of four hours. Animals were kept for an observation period of 14 days before sacrifice. To characterize the toxicity, the animals were observed during exposure, shortly after exposure and daily thereafter, body weight was measured before exposure and 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after exposure and the animals were examined for gross pathological changes at necropsy. The actual concentration of the test compound during exposure was 5.16 g/m3, based on gravimetric analysis of the test atmosphere. Measured mass median aerodynamic diameters were 3.2 and 3.3 µm and the distribution of particle sizes had a geometric standard deviation (gsd) of 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. No abnormalities were seen during exposure. Shortly after exposure, however, sniffing was heard in one male and two female animals and a soiled fur of the head was noticed in all three female animals. The next day, these or other clinical abnormalities were no longer seen. Body weight gain was as expected for animals of this age and strain on days 7 and 14, but was decreased on days 1 and 3. The minor macroscopic abnormalities found at necropsy (petechiae on the lobes of the thymus in one male animal and one petechia on one lung lobe in one female animal) were not considered to be related to the exposure. Mortality did not occur during the 14-day observation period after a 4 -hour exposure by inhalation to a concentration of 5.16 g/m3 of EDTA-MnNa2. It is therefore concluded that the 4-hour LC50 is above 5.16 g/m3 for male and female rats. According to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 436 EDTA-MnNa2 should be classified as “unclassified”.

Additional information
Because there was no mortality, the oral LD50 of EDTA-MnNa2 is in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw; the 4 -h LC50 value of EDTA-MnNa2 is higher than 5.16 mg/L.
In an acute study in Swiss mice both MnSO4.H2O and a 1:1 mixture of MnSO4.H2O and EDTA-Na2H2/EDTA-Na4 were tested via a single intraperitoneal injection. The LD50 of EDTA-MnNa2 turned out to be 2332 mg EDTA-MnNa2 per kg bw. On a molar basis EDTA-MnNa2 was 7.5 times less toxic than the metal salt MnSO4.H2O.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Well performed study according to GLP
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Well performed study according to GLP
Justification for classification or non-classification
Because of the absence of mortality at the limit concentrations tested in the dermal and inhalation study, no classification is needed.
