- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: The test material was metered into a Model 00 Jet-0-Mizer with a K-TRON Model T-20 Twin screw Volumetric feeder.
- Exposure chamber volume: 38-L cylindrical glass exposure chamber
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: rats were restrained in perforated, stainless steel cylnders with conical nose pieces
- Source and rate of air (airflow): air stream of 56 L/min
- System of generating particulates: test material was suspended as supplied in a high-pressure air stream with an air-driven jet mill, and pulverized by impaction with other particles within the mill's reduction chamber. Airflow to the mill's primary grinding jets was restricted to minimize the amount of trituration. The particles exited the jet mill and entered the exposure chamber where they were dispersed with a baffle to promote uniform distribution within the chamber. Atmospheric concentrations were controlled by varying the test material feed rate into the jet mill.
- Method of particle size determination: particle size (MMAD and % < 10 μm) was determined using a Sierra Series 210 cascade impactor during each exposure.
Sampler.
- Treatment of exhaust air: high capacity fiberpac dust filter and MSA cartridge filter prior to discharge into a fume hood.
- Temperature in air chamber: 20-23°C
- Humidity in air chamber: 23-27%
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method and equipment used: gravimetric analysis every 30 min during each exposure. Known volumes of chamber atmospheres were drawn through preweighed Gelman glass fiber (Type A/E) filters. Filters were weighed on a Cahn Model 26 Automatic Electrobalance. The difference in the pre- and post-sampling filter weights were used to calculate the atmospheric concentration of test material.
- Time needed for equilibrium of exposure concentration before animal exposure : not specified.

Details on Clinical observations:
During the 4-hour exposure: Lethargy, spasms, gasping, clear or red nasal, ocular or oral discharges.
At the end of exposure period: lethargy, wet perineum, diarrhea, clear nasal or ocular discharges. Surviving animals from groups treated at 130 or 190 mg/m3 also exhibited either lung noise, labored breathing or gasping.
Post-exposure period:
- In some of the surviving animals from groups treated with 77 or 130 mg/m3: lethargy, prostration, lung noise, labored breathing, gasping, red ocular and nasal discharges, urine-stained perineum, diarrhea, and brown-discolored fur.
- in 1 rat from the 120 mg/m3 group: lung noise.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, a 4-hr inhalation exposure to BTPPC particles (average MMAD 2.0 to 2.6 µm) caused death at 130 mg/m3 and above. The clinical signs of toxicity were consistent with organophosphate intoxication. The LC50 could not be determined from this set of results but was considered to be between 80 and 200 mg/m3.
- Executive summary:
BTPPC was assessed for acute inhalation toxicity in a standard assay. Groups of 6 male rats were exposed by inhalation (nose-only) to test atmospheres containing respirable concentrations of BTPPC particles (average MMAD 2.0 to 2.6 µm) between 71 and 190 mg/m3 for a single 4-hour exposure. Animals were observed for clinical signs and weighed daily for 14 days.
No death occurred at 71, 77 and 120 mg/m3. Two of six animals died at the concentration of 130 mg/m3, and all 6 animals died within 24 hours following exposure to the concentration of 190 mg/m3. Clinical signs included ocular, nasal and oral discharges, respiratory distress (lung noise, labored breathing or gasping), urination, diarrhea and lethargy, and weight loss.
Under the conditions of the study, the acute LC50 was estimated to be between 80 and 200 mg/m3, which triggers a classification as acute toxic category 2, H330 according to criteria of CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
