Details on study design:
At the end of the exposure period, rats were anaesthetized with pentobarbital and exsanguinated from the abdominal aorta.

Examinations

Examinations:
Blood samples were collected in tubes containing complexon as an anticoagulant.
Red blood cells, total white blood cell and leukocyte differential counts were performed.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
A statistically significant decrease in the number of circulating leukocytes (without any change in differential or red blood cell counts) was observed in rats exposed for 4 hours to increasing concentrations of the test substance.
