Control animals:

yes

Details on study design:

according to the respective guideline , 2 weeks post exposure observation
To identify exposure related effects, comparisons with an appropriate vehicle control were performed. This control was exposed to an atmosphere using essentially similar exposure conditions as were used for the test substance.
body weight determination on days 1, 3, 7 and weekly thereafter
deaths were recorded
clinical signs and appearance and behavior of each rat were recorded
Necropsy was performed
and gross pathological changes were notet (if available)

Statistics:

one-way ANOVA
The particle-size distribution was analyzed using an ANDERSEN critical orifice
cascade impactor.
Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD): Construct a 'Cumulative Percent
Found - Less Than Stated Particle Size' Table, calculate the total mass of test
substance collected in the cascade impactor.
Calculation of Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD): Refer to the log probability
graph used to calculate the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter

Executive summary:

A study on acute inhaltion toxicity of Macrolex Rot EG on rats has been conducted in accordance with OECD TG 403. A group of male and female rats was nose-only exposed to the dry powder aerosol of the test article at an actual concentration of 2868 mg/m³.. No animal died, no clinical findings and no pathotlogical changes were noted. Therefore, the results can be summarized as follows:

LC50 (rat) > 2868 mg/m³, the maximum technically attainable concentration.
