- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: flow through nose only chamber. This system was an aluminium alloy cylinder with a volume of approximately 30 liters. The conditioned test atmosphere entered through a port at the top centre of the chamber and passed out through a port at the base section below the level of the rats.
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Rats were held in polycarbonate tubes with their snouts protruding from the end of the tubes into the exposure chamber.
- Source and rate of air: A supply of clean, dry, neutralised air was connected to the generator and the supply pressure was adjusted to give a flow
rate of 20l/min.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: Wright Dust Feed mechanism designed to produce and maintain atmospheres of dust by suspending material scraped from the surface of a compressed powder in a stream of dry air. The concentrations of dust were altered by changing the gear ratio (and therefore the speed of rotation of the compressed powder towards the scraper blade) of the mechanism.The output of the WDF was connected to the top inlet port of the chamber via the elutriation column which reduced by sedimentation the amount of non respirable particulate in the test atmosphere.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: Temperature was measured using an alcohol-in-glass thermometer and relative humidity was measured with an infrared water vapour analyser. The temperature and relative humidity were recorded at the start of exposure and then at 30-minute intervals during the 4-hour exposure. The mean chamber temperatures were within expected ranges (20.5 and 20.4 °C for controls and test group) as well as the relative humidity (32 and 34 °C for controls and test group). Pressure in air chamber was not reported.
- Method of particle size determination: Particle size analysis of generated atmospheres was performed using a 8-stage cascade impactor (Marple 298). Samples were collected twice during exposure (86 and 210 min). Samples were also collected from a vacant animal exposure port (animals breathing zone). The collection substrates and the backup filter were weighed before and after sampling and the weight of test item, collected at each stage, was calculated by this difference. The total amount collected for each stage was used to determine the cumulative amount below each cut-off point size. In this way, the proportion (%) of aerosol less than < 0.52, 0.93, 1.55, 3.50, 6.0, 9.80, 14.80 and 21.30 µm (aerodynamic diameter) was calculated. From this data, the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD), and Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD) were calculated. The mean MMAD was 5.5 µm and the geometric standard deviation (GSD) was 1.99. The Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter was slightly above the targeted range of 1 to 4 µm, it came from the characteristics of the test item and the possible formation of aggregates during the aerosol generation.
- Treatment of exhaust air: The exhaust airflow was calibrated and adjusted to produce a slightly negative pressure.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: A measured volume of air was drawn at a rate of 2 litres/minute from an unused exposure
port on the exposure chamber through a glass microfibre filter, mounted in an open face filter holder and measured using a wet-type gas meter. Five samples were collected at approximately hourly intervals after equilibration during the exposure. The filters were weighed before and after sampling.The difference in the pre- and post-sampling weights, divided by the volume of atmosphere sampled, was equal to the actual achieved test atmosphere concentration. The mean achieved test atmosphere concentration was 4.06 +/- 0.214 mg/L: it was the maximum practicable concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No death occurred at the concentration of 4.06 mg/L which is the maximum practical atmosphere concentration.
Therefore, the substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and its subsequent amendments on classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures. - Executive summary:
The substance was tested for acute inhalation toxicity study according to OECD 403 guideline and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice. One treated and one control group, each of five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed by nose-only inhalation to the test substance for 4 hours at a concentration of 4.06 mg/l or air respectively. The concentration of 4.06 mg/l was the maximal practical atmosphere concentration.
Each animal was observed for mortality and clinical signs at hourly intervals during exposure, then one hour and two hours after exposure and at least twice a day during the 14-day observation period. Bodyweights were recorded before treatment then on day of exposure and weekly during the observation period. All surviving animals were necropsied at the end of the observation period.
No mortality occurred during the study. Clinical signs as exaggerated breathing was evident for all treated animals from 30 minutes during the exposure and immediatly post exposure, persisting for most animals to day 4. Gasping and noisy breathing were noted for some animals post-exposure, the latter sign persisting in 1 male to Day 4. The mean bodyweight gain for treated rats was less than controls during the first week following exposure. Thereafter, the mean bodyweight gain of female and male treated rats was similar to and less than control values respectively. There were no treatment-related findings at the macroscopic examination.
The 4 -hour inhalation LC50 was found to be greater than 4.06 mg/l (ie 4060 mg/m3).
