Any other information on results incl. tables

Dynamic exposure group(6 h, 1679 ppm):

Clinical signs: day of exposure: blepharospasm, lacrimation, severe periocular encrustation, perinasal wetness/encrustation, hypoactivity, mouth breathing and audible respiration

postexposure period: periocular encrustation, unkempt fur, and hypoactivity on the day following exposure

Mortaility: no rat died during exposure or during the 14 -day postexposure period

Body weights: mean body weight gain was observed for both sexes at 7 and 14 days following the day of exposure

Necropsy: No macroscopic lesions were observed in animals sacrificed at the end of the 2 -week post-exposure period

Static exposure (4h 1571 ppm, 6 h 1939 ppm, 8 h 1437 ppm):

Clinical signs: all static groups during exposure: blepharospasm, lacrimation, perinasal/perioral wetness, abdominal and/or mouth breathing hypoactivity, and an absence of startle reflex and motor activity.

Clinical signs observed on the day following exposure (6 and 8 h groups): lacrimation, narcosis and /or prostation, decreased respiratory rate, and an absence of toe and tail pinch, eye blink, and surface righting reflexes

Clinical signs observed during the subsequent postexposure period (6h and 8 h groups): periocular/perinasal encrustation, urogenital area wetness, hypoactivity, and decreased respiration rate

Clinical signs (4 h group postexposure): Narcosis was observed for the first 5 minutes following the end of exposure, followed by ataxia and periocular/perinasal wetness

Mortality: 4h group: 0/10, 6 h group 10/10, 8 h group 10/10, death occurred 1 to 4 days after exposure

LT50 value calculated: 5.66 (4.19 to 7.64)

Body weight gain: 4 h group: body weight gain observed 7 and 14 days after exposure

Necropsy of decedent (6 h and 8 h group: mottled red or bright pink discoloration of lungs, yellow staining of the urogential area, multiple ulcers on the tail, feet and paws, red or dark red discoloration of the thymus, liver, kidneys and brain, hemorrhages into the meninges or posterior cranial fossa (two animals 6 h group)
