- nose only
- Vehicle:

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Nose-Only Inhalation Chamber, ADG Developments LTD
- Exposure chamber volume: 6.7 L (5.0 mg/L exposure) or 28 L (1.0 mg/L exposure)
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: polycarbonate holding tubes sealed to the chamber with an “O” ring during exposure. The base unit terminated the chamber with a 0.5- inch diameter tube for discharged air.
- Source and rate of air: filtered and compressed air (air compressor: Powerex Model: SES050822). Additionally, compressed and mixed air from the air compressor was introduced into the chamber to enable uniform distribution of the test atmosphere by creating a vortex at the chamber inlet. Compressed airflow was measured with a Mass Flow Meter (Omega, Model #FMA-5613) or Mass Flow Controller (Omega, Model #FMA-5541). Chamber airflow was monitored throughout each exposure period and recorded periodically. Each exposure was conducted under slightly negative pressure.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: Dust Generator (Fluid Energy Jet Mill, Serial # J2724E) with an Accurate Series 100 Dry Material Feeder Apparatus. Compressed generator/mixing air was supplied to the dust generator at 40/30 psi, respectively. The aerosolised dust was then fed directly into the chamber through the dust outlet assembly.
- Method of particle size determination: eight-stage 1 ACFM Anderson Ambient Particle Sizing Sampler. Samples were withdrawn from the breathing zone of the animals at two intervals. The aerodynamic mass median diameter and geometric standard deviation were determined graphically using two-cycle logarithmic probit axes.
- Treatment of exhaust air: filtered
- Temperature and humidity in chamber: first experiment, 5 mg/L: 17 - 19 °C, 18 - 21%, 1 mg/L: 21 - 22 °C, 56 - 61%; second experiment, 5 mg/L: 19 - 21 °C, 44 - 49%
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: indirect: gravimetric analysis. Samples were withdrawn at six intervals from the breathing zone of the animals during each exposure. Samples were collected using 37 mm glass fiber filters (GF/B Whatman™) in a filter holder attached by ¼ inch Tygon® tubing to a vacuum pump (GAST, Model #1531-107B-G557X or Westech, Model #9803-88). Filter papers were weighed before and after collection to determine the mass collected. This value was divided by the total volume of air sampled to determine the chamber concentration. Sample airflows were measured using a Mass Flow Controller (Aalborg, Model #GFC-17).
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
VEHICLE
- Composition of vehicle: air
- Concentration of test material in vehicle (actual concentration): first experiment: 1.03 mg/L and 5.15 mg/L; second experiment: 5.17 mg/L

REMARK ON TEST CONCENTRATIONS/STUDY DESIGN
According to OECD 403, a limit test was initially conducted with a start concentration of 5 mg/L as the test article is known or expected to be virtually non-toxic. Based on the mortality determined in the test group of males, further testing at 1 mg/L was performed in male rats as the reason for mortality remained unclear especially as the test item does not seem to have intrinsic properties leading to toxicity . With the intention of collecting additional data and to verifiy the LC50, additional 5 males were exposed to 5.0 mg/L in a second experiment. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- gravimetric analyses of samples withdrawn from the breathing zone at 6 intervals during the exposure
- Duration of exposure:
- >= 240 min
- Remarks on duration:
- the exposure period was extended beyond 4 h to allow the chamber to reach equilibrium (T 99) (please refer to Table 3).
- Concentrations:
- first experiment, 5 mg/L: 5.15 ± 0.13 mg/L (analytical concentration), nominal chamber concentration: 19.28 mg/L;
first experiment, 1 mg/L: 1.03 ± 0.02 mg/L (analytical concentration), nominal chamber concentration: 5.29 mg/L;
second experiment, 5 mg/L: 5.17 ± 0.31 mg/L (analytical concentration), nominal chamber concentration: 21.14 mg/L; - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- first experiment, 5 mg/L: 5 males and females;
first experiment, 1 mg/L: 5 males;
second experiment, 5 mg/L: 5 males; - Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed daily, including gross evaluation of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems, somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Particular attention was directed to observation of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, and coma. Individual body weights were determined prior to exposure and on Day 1, 3, 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes (tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities)
- Necropsy of deceased performed: yes (tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities) - Statistics:
- Means and standard deviations of the examined parameter were calculated.

- Based on:

- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: 3/10 males died until the end of the observation period (based on a weight-of-evidence approach of the first and second experiment, in which 3/5 and 0/5 males died, respectively)
- Mortality:
- In the first experiment, no mortality was observed in the female group whereas 3/5 males were found dead at chamber removal after exposure to 5.15 mg/L. In the subsequent exposure to 1 mg/L, no further male died. In the second experiment no male died until the end of the observation period. In summary of both experiments following a weight-of-evidence approach, 0/5 females and 3/10 males died following acute exposure to 5 mg/L test substance following inhalation.
- Clinical signs:
- other: In the first experiment, deceased males (3/5) were found dead at chamber removal and hence, no findings on clinical symptoms were reported. Surviving males exhibited irregular respiration lasting until 1.5 h after chamber removal (2/2 males), dry rales at
- Body weight:
- In the first experiment, exposure to 5 mg/L induced body weight loss in all animals through Day 3 but most animals surpassed their initial body weight by Day 7 and gained body weight through Day 14. For the remaining animals, the initial body weight was surpassed until the end of the observation period (please refer to Table 6). Males exposed to 1 mg/L test substance lost or failed to gain body weight by Day 1 and/or Day 3. All animals surpassed their initial body weight by Day 7 and gained body weight through Day 14.
The second exposure to 5 mg/L induced body weight loss in all males which reached or surpassed their initial body weight latest by Day 7. - Gross pathology:
- Gross necropsy of deceased males revealed light coloring of the lungs (3/3 males) and distended stomachs (2/3 males). Surviving animals of the first and second experiment (expsoure to 1 and 5 mg/L) did not reveal gross abnormalities.
