Additional information
Reliable studies regarding acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity are available for the test substance.
Oral:
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study performed according to OECD Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (M-462506-01-1). A group of three fasted female CRL:(WI)rats was treated with the test material at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test material was administered by gavage formulated in polyethylene glycol 400 at a dosing volume of 10 mL/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 days and body weights were measured. All animals were subjected to a necropsy and a macroscopic examination. As no mortality was observed, a confirmatory group of three fasted females was treated at the same dose level. No mortality was observed in the confirmatory group; therefore no further testing was required according to OECD Guideline 423. Treatment with the test substance did not cause any clinical signs during the 14 day observation period. Body weight and body weight gain of treated animals showed no indication of a treatment-related effect. There was no evidence of macroscopic observations at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. In addition, under the same conditions, the acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in male CRL:(WI)rats according to OECD Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (M-496837-01-1). The test substance did not cause mortality at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Treatment did not cause any clinical signs during the 14 day observation period. Body weight and body weight gain of treated animals showed no indication of a treatment-related effect. There was no evidence of the macroscopic observations in surviving animals dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw and subjected to the necropsy on Day 14. Thus, under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 value of the test substance was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in female and male CRL:(WI) rats.
Inhalation:
The acute inhalation toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study performed according to OECD Guideline 403 and in compliance with GLP (M-461520-01-1). Five male and five female CRL:(WI)rats were exposed to the milled test material at the mean achieved concentration of 5.01 mg/L for 4 h using a nose-only exposure system followed by a 14-day observation period. A single sighting exposure was performed prior to the main study with one male and one female at a target concentration of 5 mg/L. Aerosol concentrations were measured gravimetrically. The particle size distribution of the test aerosol was determined regularly during the exposure period. Clinical observations and bodyweights were recorded throughout the study and the animals were sacrificed at the end of the scheduled period and subjected to a gross examination. For the sighting exposure the mean achieved atmosphere concentration was 4.83 mg/L. The MMAD (Mean Mass Aerodynamic Diameter) was 3.72mm ± 2.47 (GSD [Geometric Standard Deviation]). For the main study the mean achieved atmosphere concentration was 5.01 mg/L. The MMAD was 3.64mm ± 2.40 GSD. There was one death in the main study during the course of the study. Due to the restraint and exposure procedures wet fur and fur staining were commonly recorded on the day of exposure and several days after exposure. Slight laboured respiration was recorded in exposed animals on the day of exposure and one day after exposure. In addition, sneezing, noisy respiration, decreased activity and hunched posture were recorded in animals several days after exposure. However, all clinical signs ceased and no clinical signs were noted from Day 3, with the exception of one female where fur loss around the eyes was recorded until Day 11. Following exposure, bodyweight loss was observed in the majority of animals, which is due to the restraint procedure during the exposure. Normal bodyweight gain was noted for all animals from Day 1 of the observation period. The mean bodyweight and bodyweight gain of the animals at termination of the study was in the normal range, compared to untreated animals of the same age and strain. In surviving animals, no macroscopic changes were noted during either sighting exposure or main study. However, dark/red discoloration of the non-collapsed lungs was macroscopically found in the dead animal. Thus, under the conditions of this study, the acute inhalation LC50 value of the test substance was found to be > 5.01 mg/L in male and female CRL:(WI) rats.
Dermal:
The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study performed according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (M-462507-01-1). Five male and five female CRL:(WI)rats were treated with the test substance by a single semi-occlusive dermal application at 2000 mg/kg bw (limit test). The animals were observed for 14 days and body weights were measured. All animals were subjected to a necropsy and a macroscopic examination. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs or local dermal signs were observed. There were no treatment related effects on body weight or body weight gain. There was no evidence of any observations at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw at necropsy. Thus, under the conditions of this study, the acute dermal LD50 value of the test substance was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female CRL:(WI) rats.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
