Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Tissue-to-air partition coefficients were collectively negative, and the data suggest that very little uptake of test substance occurs into tissues. According to the method used, it is likely that the blood-to-air partition of <0.5 would be observed. Thus only a small amount of the test substance would be inhaled, and after the end of exposure, the test substance that remains in the blood would be rapidly exhaled. This observation was supported by the preliminary gas uptake data.
Comparison of 2000 ppm exposure and control exposure indicated that the test substance does not undergo significant uptake and metabolism. At 100 ppm, an initial uptake of test substance is apparent in the first 75 minutes, but chamber concentration levels off indicating no further metabolism.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Only a small amount of the test substance would be inhaled, and after the end of exposure, the test substance that remains in the blood would be rapidly exhaled.
Executive summary:

The objective of the study was to determine if the test substance undergoes absorption and metabolism after inhalation exposure in rats. Rats were exposed to concentrations of 0, 100, 500, 2000, or 5000 ppm via inhalation. Tissue-to-air partition coefficients were collectively negative, and the data suggest that very little uptake of test substance occurs into tissues. According to the method used, it is likely that the blood-to-air partition of <0.5 would be observed. Thus only a small amount of the test substance would be inhaled, and after the end of exposure, the test substance that remains in the blood would be rapidly exhaled. This observation was supported by the preliminary gas uptake data. Comparison of 2000 ppm exposure and control exposure indicated that the test substance does not undergo significant uptake and metabolism. At 100 ppm, an initial uptake of test substance is apparent in the first 75 minutes, but chamber concentration levels off indicating no further metabolism.
