Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The animals used were Sprague Dawley rats (Lippische Versuchstierzucht Hagemann GmbH. Extertal, Germany) weighing between 250g and 290g. Rats were provided with standard rat diet and water ad libitum. The diet was withdrawn approx. 16 hours before application. At the onset of the main experiment animals were randomly divided into group of 5.
Route of administration:
inhalation: dust
Type of inhalation exposure:
nose only
Vehicle:
air
Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD):
> 7.22 - < 13.26 µm
Remark on MMAD/GSD:
An analysis of the particle size distribution was carried out twice during the exposure period using a cascade impactor according to May (May K. R. (1975) J. Aerosol. Sei. 6: 413).
The dust from the exposure chamber was sucked through the cascade impactor for 1.5 to 5 min at a constant flow rate of 5 l/min. The slides covered with adhesive tape were removed from the impactor and were weighted on an analytical balance (precision 10 µg). The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was estimated by means of nonlinear regression analysis (Litchfield and Wilcoxon, (1949) J. Pharmacol. 95: 99).
Details on inhalation exposure:
Analysis of the Dust Concentration:
The dust concentration in the inhalation chamber was measured with an air sample filter (Sartorius Minisart SM 17598). Dust samples were taken during the first half and during the second half of the exposure. For that purpose, Minisart SM 17598 filters were placed close to the animals' nose and sucked through with a constant flow of air of 300 l/h for 1 to 3 min. The filters were weighed before and after sampling. Concentration of the test substance in the air was calculated as mg/l.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
not specified
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
The study was carried out using a dynamic inhalation apparatus with a nose only exposure of the animals. The apparatus consists of a cylindrical exposure chamber (volume 40 l) which holds a maximum of 20 animals in pyrex tubes at the edge of the chamber in a radial position.
The dust was generated with a dust generator and dosing apparatus. The generator was fed with compressed air from a compressor. At the bottom of the exposure chamber the air was sucked off at a similar rate as created by the dust generator, in order to produce a homogeneous distribution in the exposure chamber. At least 12 air changes per hour were carried out. Air-flow meters were used to control the constant supply of compressed air and vacuum. Flow rates were checked at least once hour and corrected if necessary. Exposure time was 4 hours.

Other findings:

Conclusions:
LC50 = 2.61 mg/L (male rats), 2.43 mg/L (female rats)
Executive summary:

Rats were exposed to dust of ammonium vanadate (NH4VO3, CAS 7803 -55 -6) for 4 hours (nose only). Animals died up to 8 days after the inhalative exposure. Histopathological examination of the lungs of the animals that received inhalative exposure revealed haemorrhage, vascular congestion and oedema in the lungs and bronchopneumonia. The LC50-values for V2O3(analytical grade, powder) is 6.65 mg/L in female rats. The LC50-values for the NH4VO3 test-substance following inhalative exposure were 2.61 mg/L for male and 2.43 mg/L for female rats.

The test substance was suspended in 0.8 % aqueous hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose gel and administered by gavage. The volume of application was 20 ml/kg b.w.
Clinical Evaluation:
Following administration, observations were made and recorded systematically with individual records being maintained for each animal. Observations were performed immediately, 5, 15, 30 and 60 min, as well as 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after administration. Then twice daily for a period of 14 days. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible. Individual body weights were recorded before administration of the substance, thereafter in weekly intervals up to the end of the study, and at death. At the end of the experiments all surviving animals were sacrificed, dissected and inspected macroscopically. All gross pathological changes were recorded. Autopsy and macroscopic inspection of rats which died prematurely were carried out as soon as possible after exitus.

The acute oral toxicity of vanadium pentoxide (CAS 1314 -62 -1) was studies similar to OECD Guideline 401. Following administration, observations were made and recorded systematically with individual records being maintained for each animal. Observations were performed immediately, 5, 15, 30 and 60 min, as well as 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after administration. Then twice daily for a period of 14 days. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible. Individual body weights were recorded before administration of the substance, thereafter in weekly intervals up to the end of the study, and at death. At the end of the experiments all surviving animals were sacrificed, dissected and inspected macroscopically. All gross pathological changes were recorded. Autopsy and macroscopic inspection of rats which died prematurely were carried out as soon as possible after exitus.The LD50-values for the V2O5 test-substance (analytical grade, powder) following oral administration were 470 mg/kg for male and 467 mg/kg for female rats.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The animals used were Sprague Dawley rats (Lippische Versuchstierzucht Hagemann GmbH. Extertal, Germany) weighing between 250 g and 290 g. Rats were provided with standard rat diet and water ad libitum. The diet was withdrawn approx. 16 hours before application. At the onset of the main experiment animals were randomly divided into group of 5.
Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
other: 0.8% aqueous hydroxypropyl-methyl-cellulose gel
Details on dermal exposure:
The hair on the site of application was clipped with hair-clippers, without causing injury, approximately 24 hours before application.
The site was situated on the animal's back between the fore and hind extremitites and had an area of approx. 5 x 6 cm (=1/10 body surface).
The test substance was applied to 8 layers of gauze and then to the application site. The patch was covered with a plastic sheet and secured with adhesive plaster.

No mortality occurred at a tested level of 2500 mg/kg bw. The LD50 is considered to be more than 2500 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (limit test similar to OECD Guideline 402), groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (5/group) were given a single dermal dose of ammonium metavanadate, at 2500 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred in this test; therefore an exact LD50 has not been determined. The test article, when administered dermally as received to 5 Sprague Dawley rats had an acute dermal LD50 of greater than 2.5 g/kg bw. No evidence of systemic toxicity was observed.
