Any other information on results incl. tables
The Albert et al. (1982) study, discussed in detail by
Sellakumar et al. (1985), reported data from a chronic
inhalation exposure study in rats. One hundred male
Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 10 ppm hydrogen chloride
(HCl) for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week (duration-adjusted
concentration = 2.5 mg/m3) for their lifetimes. All animals
were observed daily, weighed monthly, and allowed to die
naturally or killed when moribund. Complete necropsy was
performed on all animals, with particular attention given to
the respiratory tract. Histological sections were prepared
from the nasal cavity (one lateral section from each side of
the head), lung (one section from each lobe), trachea,
larynx, liver, kidneys, testes, and other organs where gross
pathological signs were present. However, Sellakumar et al.
(1985) did not discuss histopathological events in organs
other than the respiratory tract. HCl-exposed animals showed
no differences in body weights or survival when compared
with air controls. The data indicated 62/99 exposed animals
with epithelial or squamous hyperplasia in the nasal mucosa
(location not specified) vs. 51/99 in the concurrent control
group. Incidence of squamous metaplasia was 9 and 5 in the
exposed and control rats, respectively. There was a 24 %
incidence of hyperplasia of laryngeal-tracheal segments in
HCl-exposed rats (larynx 2/22, trachea 6/26) vs. 6 % in the
controls. The authors did not make any comments concerning
the severity of these changes. Based on these results, the
US EPA (1995) gave 10 ppm as LOAEL [LOAEL(HEC) = 6.1 mg/m3).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
