Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: separate PVC tubes positioned radially around the exposure chamber such that snout and nostrils of the animals only were exposed to the dust.
- Rate of air: 20 L/min.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The dust was generated by injecting the test material with the help of a "Grafix Exaktomat Injector" into an air stream which was discharged into the exposure chamber through a nozzle under a pressure of 2 atm.
- Method of particle size determination: The size distribution of the dust particles was measured with a Cascade Impactor with selectron filters of 25 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 µm (Schleicher and Schuell) at an air flow rate of 17.5 L/min.

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The concentration and the particle size distribution of the dust in the vicinity of the animals was monitored at 1 hour intervals throughout the dust exposure. The concentration was determined gravimetrically by sampling the test atmosphere through a selectron filter of 50 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 nm (Schleicher and Schuell, Feldbach, Switzerland) at an air flow rate of 10 L/min. The size distribution of the dust particles was measured with a Cascade Impactor with selectron filters of 25 mm diameter and with a pore size of 0.2 µm (Schleicher and Schuell) at an air flow rate of 17.5 L/min.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Particle size distribution: ca. 42 % particles > 7 µm, ca. 45 % particles of 3-7 µm, ca. 10 % particles of 1-3 µm and ca. 3 % particles of <1 µm

yes
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
9465 ± 632 mg/m3
No. of animals per sex per dose:
9
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
