- Details on results:
- Body weight:
Rats: mean body weighs of exposed male and female rats receiving 10000 ppm and stop exposure males receiving 20000 were lower than those of controls throughout most of the study.
Mice: Mean body weight of exposed male and female mice were similar to controls throughout the study. Final mean bodyweights were also generally similar to those of controls.
Food/water consumption:
Rats: In continous study feed consumption generally similar to controls. In the 20000-ppm stop exposure males, the feed consumption was lower than the control.
Mice: Feed consumption was similar in exposed and control mice.
Clinical findings:
Rats: included skin and subcutaneous tissue masses on the face, tail and the ventral and dorsal surfaces of exposed rats.
Mice: included swelling, discarge and tissue masses involving the eye in exposed mice.
Ophthalmologic findings; Hematologic findings; Clinical biochemistry findings: No data.
Mortality and time to death:
Rats: Survival of 5000 and 1000 continous exposure males and females and 20000-ppm stop exposure males was significantly lower than control.
Mice: Survival of 1250-ppm males and females was significantly lower than control.
Gross pathology: No data, although it is likely that some or all the neoplasm found would be visible macroscopically.
Organ weight changes:
Rats: At the 3 month evaluation the right kidney and liver weights of 20000-ppm stop exposure males was significantly lower than controls. The right kidney and liver weights relative to bodyweight in this group were significantly higher than controls.
Mice: No significant differences.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Rats: Groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were fed diets containing 0, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 20000 ppm, of test substance for 13 weeks. No rats died during the study. The final mean body weights and weight gain of 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 ppm males and females were significantly lower than those of the controls. Feed consumption by exposed animals was lower than that by controls at week 1, but was generally similar to slightly higher than that by controls at week 13. No chemical related clinical findings were observed. Chemical related differences in clinical pathology parameters included increase in urine volumes accompanied by decreased urine specific gravity and minimally increased protein excretion in 10,000, and 20,000 ppm males. In females, urine parameters were less affected than males. Water deprivation tests demonstrated that male and female rats were able to adequately concentrate their urine in response to decreased water intake. Serum protein and albumin concentrations in female rats exposed to 2,500 ppm and higher were slightly lower than those of the controls. Renal papillary degeneration was present in 5000 and 10,000 ppm males, and in 20,000 ppm males and females. Hyperplasia of the urinary bladder was present in 20,000 ppm males.
Mice: Groups of 10 male and 10 female mice were fed diets containing 0, 625, 1250, 2500, 5000 ppm., of test substance for 13 weeks.
One control female, two males and one female receiving 625ppm, one female receiving 1250ppm, one female receiving 2500ppm, one female receiving 5000ppm, and 3 males receiving 10,000 pop died during the study. The final mean body weights and weight gain
1250, 2500, 5000 ppm and of females receiving 1250, 2500, 5000 and 10,000ppm and of females receiving 625ppm were significantly lower than those of the controls. Feed consumption by exposed mice was generally higher than that by controls thought the study.
Clinical findings included abnormal posture and hypoactivity in 10,000 ppm male and female mice. Blood urea nitrogen concentration concentrations of 5000 ppm females and 10,000 males and females were greater than those of controls. Also, urine specific gravity was lower in 10,000 ppm females. Differences in organ weights generally followed those in body weights. Papillary necrosis, renal tubule regeneration, and fibrosis were observed in the kidneys of 2,500 and 5000 ppm males and 10,000 ppm males and females. Urinary bladder hyperplasia was observed in 5,000 and 10,000 ppm males and females.
- Executive summary:

Rats:Groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were fed diets containing 0, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000, 20000 ppm, of test substance for 13 weeks. No rats died during the study. The final mean body weights and weight gain of 5000, 10,000, and 20,000 ppm males and females were significantly lower than those of the controls.
