- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Closed Chamber
- Source and rate of air: Source not stated, rate given as 15 liters per minute.
- Method of conditioning air: Described only as "dry air".
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: Test material was press-packed into a Wright Dust Feed cylinder using a Carver Hydraulic Press at a pressure of 1500 psi. The Wright Dust Feed mechanism, set at a gear ratio of 1.5 to 1 was arranged to feed into the exposure chamber. Dry air at a flow rate of 15 liters per minute was passed through the dust feed mechanisms to generate the dust, which was directed undiluted into the exposure chamber.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- other: slight reversible irritation of the oral and respiratory mucous membranes.
- Effect level:
- 3.8 mg/L air (nominal)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Mortality:
- No animals died during the exposure period, or the during the subsequent 14-day observation period.
- Clinical signs:
- other: During exposure, animals were noted to be "huddled together in the chamber." In addition, some animals were observed to be rubbing their eyes, and some were noted to have labored breathing and wet and/or matted fur. After removal from the chamber, most
- Body weight:
- Although small, transient weight losses were observed in most rats, body weights recovered to pre-exposure values in Males by Day 7, and in females by Day 14.
- Gross pathology:
- At necropsy, 4 males and 3 females showed foci of lung discoloration. However, these were determined to be common pathological entities in this particular strain of rats, and was deemed to not be related to the test material.
Applicant's summary and conclusion

- relatively harmless
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- A four-hour acute inhalation exposure to a dust of test material at a nominal concentration of 3.8 mg/L with an aerodynamic mass median diameter of 3.61 microns and geometric standard deviation range of 2.21 to 6.55 did not produce mortality, but caused a slight reversible irritation of the oral and respiratory mucous membranes. Also observed was slight neuro-muscular impairment during the 4 hour post-exposure observation period.
- Executive summary:
A four-hour acute inhalation exposure to a dust of test material at a nominal concentration of 3.8 mg/L with an aerodynamic mass median diameter of 3.61 microns and geometric standard deviation range of 2.21 to 6.55 did not produce mortality, but caused a slight reversible irritation of the oral and respiratory mucous membranes. Also observed was slight neuro-muscular impairment during the 4 hour post-exposure observation period.
