- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus:
A dust atmosphere was produced from the test material using a SAG 410 Solid Aerosol Generator (TOPAS GmbH, Dresden, Germany) located adjacent to the exposure chamber. The SAG 410 was connected to a metered compressed air supply. The cylindrical exposure chamber had a volume of approximately 30 litres (dimensions: 28 cm diameter x 50 cm high). The concentration within the chamber was controlled by adjusting the test material feed rate from the SAG 410. The extract from the exposure chamber passed through a ‘scrubber’ trap and was connected with a high efficiency filter to a metered exhaust system. The chamber was maintained under negative pressure.
- Exposure chamber volume:
Approximately 30 litres (dimensions: 28 cm diameter x 50 cm high).
- Method of holding animals in test chamber:
Each rat was individually held in a tapered, polycarbonate restraining tube fitted onto a single tier of the exposure chamber and sealed by means of a rubber ‘O’ ring. Only the nose of each animal was exposed to the test atmosphere.
- Source and rate of air:
Compressed air was supplied by means of an oil free compressor and passed through a water trap and respiratory quality filters before it was introduced to the SAG 410.
- Method of conditioning air:
Compressed air passed through a water trap and respiratory quality filters.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols:
A dust atmosphere was produced from the test material using a SAG 410 Solid Aerosol Generator (TOPAS GmbH, Dresden, Germany) located adjacent to the exposure chamber. The SAG 410 was connected to a metered compressed air supply.
- Method of particle size determination:
The particle size of the generated atmosphere inside the exposure chamber was determined three times during the exposure period using a Marple Personal Cascade Impactor (Westech IS Ltd, Beds., UK).
- Treatment of exhaust air:
Filtered.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber:
The temperature and relative humidity inside the exposure chamber were measured by an electronic thermometer/humidity meter (Hanna Instruments Ltd, Beds., UK) located in a vacant port in the animals’ breathing zone of the chamber and recorded every thirty minutes throughout the four-hour exposure period.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used:
The actual chamber concentration was measured at regular intervals during the exposure period. The gravimetric method used glass fibre filters placed in a filter holder. The holder was temporarily sealed in a vacant port in the exposure chamber in the animals’ breathing zone and a suitable, known volume of exposure chamber air was drawn through the filter using a vacuum pump.
Each filter was weighed before and after sampling in order to calculate the weight of collected test material. The difference in the two weights, divided by the volume of atmosphere sampled, gave the actual chamber concentration.
The nominal chamber concentration was calculated by dividing the mass of test material used by the total volume of air passed through the chamber.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

- Control animals:

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were observed for clinical signs at hourly intervals during exposure, immediately on removal from the restraining tubes at the end of exposure, one hour after termination of exposure and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Any evidence of overt toxicity was recorded at each observation.
Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to treatment on the day of exposure and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: At the end of the fourteen day observation period the animals were killed by intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone. All animals were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. The respiratory tract was subjected to a detailed macroscopic examination for signs of irritancy or local toxicity. - Statistics:
- Data evaluations included the relationship, if any, between the animals’ exposure to the test material and the incidence and severity of all abnormalities including behavioural and clinical observations, necropsy findings, bodyweight changes, mortality and any other toxicological effects.
Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (LC50) of the test material was made. - Preliminary study:

- No deaths occurred in a group of ten rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 4.98 mg MnSO4.H2O/L for four hours.
- Clinical signs:

- Body weight:
- Variations in bodyweight gain are frequently seen for female animals of this strain and age during this type of study and, in isolation, are considered not to be significant.
All males and four female animals exhibited a slight bodyweight loss or reduced bodyweight gain during Week 1. With the exception of one female animal which exhibited a loss during Week 2 (this animal exhibited normal development during Week 1) animals recovered to exhibit normal development. - Gross pathology:
- With the exception of one instance of dark patches on the lungs, no macroscopic abnormalities were detected at necropsy.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- No deaths occurred in a group of ten rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 4.98 mg/L for four hours. It was therefore considered that the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (4 hr LC50) of MnSO4.H2O, in the HsdHan : WIST strain rat, was greater than 4.98 mg/L. The equivalent LC50 value for the anhydrous form of this material is considered to be >4.45 mg/L.
On the basis of this result, MnSO4 does not meet the criteria for classification in the EU in accordance with both Council Directive 67/548/EEC as amended and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and will not require labelling for inhalation toxicity. - Executive summary:
Introduction. A study was performed to assess the acute inhalation toxicity of the test material. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 403 “Acute Inhalation Toxicity” referenced as Method B2 (Inhalation) of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Methods. A group of ten HsdHan: WIST strain rats (five males and five females) was exposed to a dust atmosphere. The animals were exposed for four hours using a nose only exposure system, followed by a fourteen day observation period.
Results. The mean achieved atmosphere concentration was as follows:
Atmosphere Concentration
Mean Achieved (mg/L)
Standard Deviation
Nominal (mg/L)

The characteristics of the achieved atmosphere were as follows:

Clinical Observations. Common abnormalities noted during the study included increased respiratory rate, hunched posture, pilo-erection and wet fur. Animals recovered quickly to appear normal from Day 3 post-exposure.
Bodyweight. All males and four female animals exhibited a slight bodyweight loss or reduced bodyweight gain during Week 1. With the exception of one female animal which exhibited a loss during Week 2 (this animal exhibited normal development during Week 1) animals recovered to exhibit normal development.
Necropsy. With the exception of one instance of dark patches on the lungs, no macroscopic abnormalities were detected at necropsy.
Conclusion. No deaths occurred in a group of ten rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of4.98mg/L for four hours. It was therefore considered that the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (4 hr LC50) of MnSO4, in the HsdHan: WIST strain rat, was greater than 4.98mg/L. The equivalent LC50 value for the anhydrous form of this material is considered to be >4.45mg/L.
On the basis of this result, MnSO4does not meet the criteria for classification in the EU in accordance with both Council Directive 67/548/EEC as amended and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and will not require labelling for inhalation toxicity.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
MnSO4 does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity based on the LD50 of 2150 mg/kg (IUCLID section 7.2.1., Singh et al (1993)). This is supported by the NTP report (IUCLID section 7.2.1) which showed daily oral doses near to 2000 mg/kg with no mortalities over a prolonged time period. MnSO4 does not need to be classified for acute inhalation toxicity based on an LC50 > 4.98 mg/L (IUCLID section 7.2.2, Griffiths (2010)) for the monohydrate equating to LC50 > 4.45 for the anhydrous. Classification for the acute dermal toxicity is not considered necessary as the substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity and absorption through the skin is likely to be less than oral.
