Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Ace Animals.
- Age at study initiation: approximately 8 weeks old.
- Weight at study initiation: between 209 - 298 g.
- Housing: suspended wire mesh cages (20" x 10" x7").
- Diet: Fresh Purina rat chow ad libitum (except during dosing).
- Water: ad libitum (except during dosing).
- Acclimation period: at least one week.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 21°C
- Air changes: continuos air flow.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure chamber volume: 435 liter stainless steel chamber
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: the animal room, reserved exclusively for rodents on acute tests, was maintained at 20 - 21°C and was kept clean
- System of generating vapours: Harvard pum
- Temperature: 20 - 21°C
- Total Volume of Air: 2175 liter/minute

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: the test material was introduced into a distilling flask at a constant rate by use of a Harvard pump. The vapors generated were introduced into the air stream. The dosage amount was calculated from the air flow and the amount of liquid material used.

VEHICLE
- Concentration of test material in vehicle: 0.006 mg/L
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
not specified
Duration of exposure:
ca. 4 h
Concentrations:
0.006 mg/L
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 per sex per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed hourly during dosing and as late in the day as possible and then once daily for Days 1-14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology.
