Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Results:
There was used respiratory depression in mice as an index of irritative response in the upper respiratory tract. Three of six male Swiss-Webster mice developed a decline in respiratory rate (below 50% of the normal rate) during 1 min of exposure to 10 000 mg/m3 (1700 ppm vapour and aerosols) of white spirit (Stoddard solvent; 15% aromatics). A similar decrease in respiratory rate did not occur at 4400 mg/m3 (770 ppm).
Exposure to mice of either 350 mg/m3 (56 ppm vapour) or 1200 mg/m3 (vapour plus aerosol) of dearomatized white spirit (140° Flash Aliphatic Solvent) did not induce respiratory tract irritation or change in respiratory rate
