TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Two litres of test asmosphere was drawn through a glass fibre filter and the quality of the test substance retained by the filters was determined by GC using an external standard technique. The test filter samples were extracted with methanol at final concentration of approximately 0.1 mg/mL. As standards, aliquots (≤ 0.1g) of the test material at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL was used. The standard and sample solutions were analysed by GC. The concentration found was in the range of 93 - 105% of the nominal concentrations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- No deaths occurred in a group of 10 rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 5.99 mg/L for 4 hours. It was therefore considered that the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (4 h LC50) of TIPX, in the Sprague-Dawley Crl:CD® (SD) IGS BR strain rat, was greater than 5.99 mg/L. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
Introduction.A study was performed to assess the acute inhalation toxicity of the test material. The method used followed that described in the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health Effects test Guidelines, OPPTS 870.1300, Acute Inhalation Toxicity, August 1998. The method was also designed to meet OECD guideline 404 (may 1981) and EC Guideline (Method B2 of Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Annex V) and to comply with the requirements of the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), testing Guidelines for Toxicology Studies, 12 NohSan No.8147 (2-1-3), 24 Nov 2000 (partially received on 26 June 2001).
Method. A group of 10 Sprague-Dawley Crl:CD® (SD) IGS BR strain rats (5 males and 5 females) was exposed to an aerosol atmosphere. The animals were exposed for 4 hours using a nose only exposure system, followed by a 14-day observation period.
Results.
The mean achieved atmosphere concentration was as follows:
Mean Achieved: 5.99 mg/L
Standard Deviation: 0.28
Nominal: 12.9 mg/L.
The characteristics of the achieved atmosphere were as follows:
Mean Achieved Atmosphere Concentration: 5.99 mg/L
Mean mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter: 3.15 um
Inhalable Fraction (< 4 um): 62.6%
Geometric Standard Deviation: 2.10.
Mortality. There were no deaths in both sexes during the study.
Clinical Observations. Common abnormalities noted during the study included increased respiratory rate, hunched posture, pilo-erection and wet fur. There was an isolated instance of red/brown staining to the eyes. All animals recovered quickly to appear normal by Day 2 or Day 3 post-exposure.
Bodyweight. Normal bodyweight development was noted during the study.
Necropsy. Apart from two instances of dark patches on the lungs, no macroscopic abnormalities were detected amongst animals at necropsy.
Conclusion. No deaths occurred in a group of 10 rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 5.99 mg/L for 4 hours. It was therefore considered that the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (4 h LC50) of TIPX, in the Sprague-Dawley Crl:CD® (SD) IGS BR strain rat, was greater than 5.99 mg/L. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
