Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Albino
Sex:
male

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Details on inhalation exposure:
Single inhalation exposure, 5 hours
Substantially saturated atmosphere generated by allowing open vessel to equilibrate in 19 L glass jar exposure chamber (assumed to be maximum attainable concentration)
6 animals/dose level, usually male albino rats
14-day observation period
Duration of exposure:
5 h
Concentrations:
0.000008 ppm (saturated atmosphere)

Saturated atmosphere was calculated based on a vapor pressure of 0.0006 e-6 at 25C and 760 mmHg to be 7.89ppt.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Six males
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Six males were exposed for 5 hours to a substantially saturated atmosphere, then observed for 14 days. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Test was terminated after 14 days. Animals were not examined post-mortem.
Statistics:
