Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

inhalation: vapour

Type of inhalation exposure:

whole body

Details on inhalation exposure:

Test animals were exposed in a specially constructed Plexiglas inhalation chamber having a capacity of 700 liters . Each animal was caged separately during exposure to minimize filtration of inspired air by animal fur. The test atmosphere was generated by heating 7.0 g of test material in an aluminum pan on a hot plate (288"C), placed in an empty 700 liter chamber. The resulting fumes and vapors were then drawn into the 700liter chamber containing the test animals. An additional 7 g of the test material was put in the generator at half hour intervals for a four hour period, thus using a total of 56 grams. Air flow rate through the system was 150 L/min. The temperature of the test atmosphere was 32°C and the pressure was 29.71 inches Hg. The concentration of particulates present in the exposure chamber was determined by sampling the test atmosphere in the breathing zone of the animals being exposed. The total weight of particles collected on a glass fiber filter was divided by the total volume of air drawn through the filter during the sampling period. Air flow rate for sampling was regulated by a calibrated limiting orifice. The average concentration, obtained by repeated air sampling, was 110 mg/m3 air.

Duration of exposure:

4 h

Concentrations:

0.11 mg/l

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: prior exposure and at the end of observation
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect level:

> 110 mg/m³ air

Mortality:

No mortalities occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: Nountoward behavioral reactions were observed.

Body weight:

There were no adverse body weight effects. The average two-week body weight gain was 73 g which is within the normal range.

Gross pathology:

Gross pathologic examinations revealed moderate lung hyperemia in 50 percent of the test rats. No other gross pathologic alterations were observed in the test animals.
