Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The purpose of this study was to determine the 4-hour inhalation median lethal concentration (LC50) for the test substance in male and female rats by the EPA protocol. The LC50 was defined as the calculated atmospheric concentration of test material expected to cause the death of 50% of exposed animals either on the day of exposure or within 14 days post exposure.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Test type:
- traditional method
- Limit test:
- no

- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure chamber volume: 38 liter
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Rats were restrained in perforated, stainless steel cylinders with conical nose pieces
- Source and rate of air: Room air
- Method of conditioning air: No conditioning
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: Dust atmospheres of the test substance were generated with a K-tron® Bin Feeder equipped with twin feed screws. The feed rate was regulated with a K-tron® volumetric feed controller. The bin feeder metered the test material into a plastic funnel which dropped the test substance into a glass transfer tube, where regulated high pressure air swept the test material through a 90° dust dispersion tube into the exposure chamber
- Method of particle size determination: Particle size (mass median aerodynamic diameter and percent < 10 µm) was determined with a Sierra Series 210 cascade impactor during each exposure.
- Treatment of exhaust air: Chamber exhaust was drawn through a coarse dust trap then through a MSA filter prior to being discharged through the hood exhaust
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: Test chamber temperature ranged between 20-22°C, relative humidity ranged from 33-36%, and oxygen concentration was 21%; Control chamber temperature was 25°C, relative humidity was 30% and oxygen concentration was 21%.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 5.7 mg/L air
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: no deaths at highest dose tested
- Mortality:
- No mortality
- Clinical signs:
- other: During exposure test dust accumulated on the rat noses and rats showed a diminished response to sound. Immediately after exposure rats showed a red nasal and ocular discharge. This is a common clinical sign in restrained rats.
- Body weight:
- During the 14-day post-exposure recovery period, rats showed a slight weight loss (8 out of 10 males, 1 out of 10 females) on the first post-exposure day, but resumed a normal weight gain through the remainder of the recovery period.
- Gross pathology:
- Rats examined by gross necropsy immediately after exposure to 5.1 mg/L of the test substance dust showed no effects due to the test treatment.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the LC50 for the test substance dust was greater than 5.7 mg/L. No exposure-related effects were observed in 3 male and 3 female rats examined by gross necropsy immediately after exposure to 5.1 mg/L of the test substance dust.
- Executive summary:
Groups of 10 male and 10 female Crl:CD®BR rats were exposed, nose only, to atmospheres containing the test substance dust for a single 4-hour period.
Under the conditions of this test, the LC50 for the test substance was greater than 5.7 mg/L, the highest dose tested. No exposure-related effects were observed in 3 male and 3 female rats examined by gross necropsy immediately after exposure to 5.1 mg/L of the test substance dust.
