- Exposure chamber volume: 10 Liters
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Restraining tubes
- Source and rate of air: Filtered air from a compressed air supply at 11.6 to 13 L/minute
- Method of conditioning air: Filtered
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 19°C to 22°C; 43% to 66%
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The concentration of the test article was determined twice-hourly by sampling through a Miran 1A infra-red gas analyzer set at a wavelength of 3.39 µm and a path-length of 0.75m. The instrument was calibrated by injection of known volumes of the liquid test article in to the gas analyzer and a curve plotted of absorbance versus calculated concentration. The calibration of the instrument was checked before the exposure.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- twice hourly
- Duration of exposure:
- ca. 4.5 h
- Remarks on duration:
- Owing to a transient drop in the chamber atmosphere concentration, the exposure period for the treated group was increased by half an hour t o 4.5 hours.
- Concentrations:
- Measured concentration: 0 and 1074 ppm (7.04 mg/L or 7041 mg/m3)
Nominal concentration: 0 and 1585 ppm (10.39 mg/L or 10391 mg/m3) - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- yes
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations - hourly during exposure and on day of exposure, one daily thereafter for 14 days; Body weight - Immediately prior to and after exposure; on observation days 7 and 14; and immediately prior to termination
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: histopathology - Statistics:
- mean and standard deviations were determined where appropriate

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information the single concentration tested (7.04 mg/L) produced no mortality Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In an acute inhalation toxicity study, groups of Crl:CD(SD)BR strain rats (5/sex) were exposed by inhalation route to 1,1-dimethylheptanethiol for 4.5 hours at a concentration of 7.04 mg/L. The inhalation LC50 was determined to be > 7.04 mg/L in rats.
- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study, Crl:CD(SD)BR strain rats (5/sex) were exposed via inhalation (head only) to 1,1-dimethylheptanethiol for 4.5 hours at a concentration of 7.04 mg/L. Animals were subsequently observed for a period of 14 days.
No mortality was observed in either male or female rats through the course of the study. Marked clinical signs of pilo-erection, ataxia, transient salivation and wet fur were observed for all treated animals. These signs were not apparent in control animals. No treatment-related effects on body weight were observed in either male or female rats. No gross or histopathological signs of specific organ toxicity were observed in any of the treated animals. Based on the lack of treatment-related signs of clinical toxicity, the acute inhalation LC50 for 1,1-dimethylheptanethiol was determined to be > 7.04 mg/L.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified reliable without restriction because it appears to have followed the recommendations of OECD Guideline 403.
