Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six mature male rats were placed in a stainless steel chamber of 35-liters capacity and exposed for six hours to a concentrated atmosphere of vapors produced by passing a stream of air through 125.2 grams of the compound contained in a 500-milliliter erlenmeyer flask. The sample was maintained at a temperature of 150° F (65.6° C) by immersing the flask in a heated oil bath. Vapors from the flask passed into a one liter bottle to remove droplets and then into the chamber. Air flow through the sample was 4.0 liters per minute as measured by a calibrated rotameter. No supplementary air was introduced inasmuch as the above supply was ample for the animals' oxygen requirements. The animals were observed for behavior during exposure and for 14 days following exposure. The viscera of the test animals were examined macroscopically.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 480 mg/m³ air (analytical)
Exp. duration:
6 h
Mortality:
All six animals survived the 6-hr exposure as well as the following 14-day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: Upon removal from the chamber respiration was normal and there were no other signs of toxic distress. The balance of the observation period was uneventful.
Body weight:
Weight gain was normal.
Gross pathology:
The viscera appeared normal by macroscopic examination.
Other findings:
no data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity of the test substance revealed an LC50 value > 480 mg/m3 for male rats. An 6-hr vapor exposure of 480 mg/m3 was tolerated without mortality and without signs of intoxication by all animals. Body weight development was not affected (Birch, 1977). Due to the low test concentration of 480 mg/m3 test substance vapor this study is considered to be of limited value for classification.
