Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute Exposure/ Rats that inhaled 42,000 ppm methyl acetylene became hyperactive and within 7 min were lethargic and ataxic. After 95 min, the animals were completely anesthetized. There was no mortality when the exposure was terminated at the end of 5 hr, and most of the animals recovered completely within 40 min. Edema and alveolar hemorrhage were present in animals killed at termination of the single exposure, whereas bronchiolitis and pneumonitis were observed in rats sacrificed 9 days postexposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

There is no available information on the methods used to determine the value for this endpoint. However, this information is taken from the TOXNET website which is considered to be a reliable peer reviewed data source.

Acute Exposure: Rats that inhaled 42,000 ppm methyl acetylene became hyperactive and within 7 min were lethargic and ataxic. After 95 min, the animals were completely anesthetized. There was no mortality when the exposure was terminated at the end of 5 hr, and most of the animals recovered completely within 40 min. Edema and alveolar hemorrhage were present in animals killed at termination of the single exposure, whereas bronchiolitis and pneumonitis were observed in rats sacrificed 9 days postexposure.
