OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The presence of precipitation of the test compound on the plates was determined. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive if:
a) A two-fold (TA100) or more or a three-fold (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, WP2uvrA) or more increase above solvent control in the mean number of revertant colonies is observed in the test substance group.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment. - Species / strain:

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Precipitation of Yttrium Oxide was not observed at the start of the incubation period, however precipitation of Yttrium Oxide was observed on the plates at a concentration of 5000 μg/plate at the end of the incubation period. In addition, in tester strain WP2uvrA also precipitate was observed at 3330 μg/plate (second experiment).
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
- No toxicity or mutagenicity was observed up to and including the top dose of 5000 µg/plate
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
- The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within our laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- No toxicity or mutagenicity was observed up to and including the top dose of 5000 µg/plate - Conclusions:
- In an Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium spp. and Escherichia coli performed according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles, the test material was found to be non-mutagenic with or without metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
An Ames test was performed according to current OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles with Yttrium oxide, europium-doped. All bacterial strains ( TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA) showed negative responses over the entire dose range, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments with or without metabolic activation. No toxicity was noted but testing was performed up to limit concentrations, precipitation was observed on the plates at a concentration of 5000 μg/plate at the end of the incubation period. In addition in tester strain WP2uvrA also precipitate was observed at 3330 μg/plate (second experiment). The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Yttrium Oxide, Europium-Doped is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with or withouth metabolic activation.

- Additional information on results:
- Precipitation of the test item was noted in experiment I and II without and with metabolic activation in all evaluated concentrations.
In both experiments no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was noted after treatment with the test item without and with metabolic activation. The aberration rates of all dose groups treated with the test item were within the historical control data of the negative control - Conclusions:
- In conclusion an in vitro chromosomal aberration test performed according to OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles, Yttrium Oxide did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocyte cells. Therefore, Yttrium Oxide is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test. This result is read across to Yttrium oxide, Europium-doped.
- Executive summary:
A chromosome aberration assay was carried out in order to investigate a possible potential of Yttrium Oxide for its ability to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Human Lymphocytes.
The metaphases were prepared 24 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h with and without metabolic activation (experiment I) and 4 h with and 24 h without metabolic activation (experiment II). Two parallel cultures were set up. Per culture 100 metaphases were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations (for exceptions see Tables).
The following concentrations were evaluated:
Experiment I:
Without and with metabolic activation, 4 h treatment, 24 h preparation interval:
2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 mM
Experiment II:
Without metabolic activation, 24 h treatment, 24 h preparation interval:
0.6, 1.2, and 2.5 mM
With metabolic activation, 4 h treatment, 24 h preparation interval:
1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mM
Precipitation of the test item was noted in experiment I and II without and with metabolic activation in all evaluated concentrations.
In experiment I and II no biologically relevant decreases of proliferation index were observed.
In experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation, the number of aberrant cells found in the cultures treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase compared to the corresponding negative control. In addition, no dose-response relationship was observed.
In experiment II with metabolic activation only 140 instead of 200 cells could be evaluated due to precipitation at a concentration of 2 mM. However, the assessment of genotoxicity was still possible as at the higher concentration of 4 mM 200 cells could be evaluated.
EMS (400 and 600 µg/mL, respectively) and CPA (5 µg/mL) were used as positive controls and induced distinct and biologically relevant increases in cells with structural chromosomal aberrations, thus proving the ability of the test system to indicate potential clastogenic effects.
No biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was found after treatment with the test item. This result is read across to Yttrium oxide, Europium-doped.

Precipitation: Precipitation of the test item was noted in the whole experiment I at concentrations of 1.0 mM and higher and in experiment II at concentrations of 1.0 mM and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 0.8 mM and higher (with metabolic activation).
Toxicity (Experiment II results presented in Table 1 and 3): A biologically relevant growth inhibition (reduction of relative growth below 70%) was observed after the treatment with the test item in experiment I and II without metabolic activation. In experiment I without metabolic activation the relative growth was 41.6% for the highest concentration (10 mM) evaluated.

The highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.58 was found at a concentration of 5.0 mM with a relative growth of 60.7%.With metabolic activation all mutant values of the negative controls, andtest item concentrations found were within the historical control data of the laboratory test facility (about 2-39 mutants per 106cells). No dose-response relationship could be observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase as compared to the negativecontrols.The highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.12 was found at a concentration of 0.100 mM with a relative growth of 96.7%.
In experiment II without metabolic activation most mutant values of the negative controls andtest item concentrations found were within the historical control data of the laboratory test facility (about 1-39 mutants per 106cells). No dose-response relationship could be observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase as compared to the negative controls.

Additional information
An Ames test was performed according to current OECD/EC guidelines and GLP principles with Yttrium oxide, europium-doped. All bacterial strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA) showed negative responses over the entire dose range, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments with or without metabolic activation. No toxicity was noted but testing was performed up to limit concentrations, precipitation was observed on the plates at a concentration of 5000 μg/plate at the end of the incubation period. In addition in tester strain WP2uvrA also precipitate was observed at 3330 μg/plate (second experiment). The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Yttrium Oxide, Europium-Doped is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with or without metabolic activation.
No further studies with yttrium oxide, europium doped are available. However, studies with yttrium oxide are present. The justification for this analogue approach is described in a report (see section 13 of IUCLID).
Substance analogue yttrium oxide was tested for its potential to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese hamster. The main experiments were carried out without and with metabolic activation. In experiment I, 10 mM (with and without metabolic activation) was selected as the highest concentration, while in experiment II, 7.5 mM (without metabolic activation) and 10 mM (with metabolic activation) were selected as the highest concentrations. Most of the experiments were performed as 4h short-time exposure only experiment II was performed as 20 h long time exposure assay (without metabolic activation). Precipitation was observed in both experiments. In addition, toxicity was observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test substance did not show a biologically relevant increase with and without metabolic activation as compared to the negative controls. Therefore, the substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in this study.
Furthermore, a chromosome aberration assay was carried out in order to investigate a possible potential of yttrium oxide for its ability to induce structural chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes. The metaphases were prepared 24 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h with and without metabolic activation (experiment I) and 4 h with and 24 h without metabolic activation (experiment II). Two parallel cultures were set up. Per culture 100 metaphases were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations. Precipitation of the test item was noted in experiment I and II without and with metabolic activation in all evaluated concentrations. In experiment I and II no biologically relevant decreases of proliferation index were observed. In experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation, the number of aberrant cells found in the cultures treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase compared to the corresponding negative control. In addition, no dose-response relationship was observed.
Based on the positive and negative controls, it was concluded that the test system functioned properly. No biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was found after treatment with the test item.
Taken all data together, it was concluded that there is sufficient data to fill this endpoint and that there are no indications that yttrium oxide, europium-doped has genotoxic properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information, yttrium oxide, europium doped is not classified for mutagenicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 including its amendments.
