- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Diluent: Dimethylsulfoxyd (DMSO), The test item is an emulsion with a high viscosity. Hence, a mixture of the test item with water (1 + 1, m/m) was the highest possible concentration to obtain an appropriate aerosol.
- Type of exposure: Using a dynamic inhalation chamber (air changes/h (≥ 12 times)) with a nose-only exposure of the animals according to KIMMERLE & TEPPER .
- Method of holding animals in test chamber (volume 40 l): The apparatus consists of a cylindrical exposure chamber (volume 40 L) which holds a maximum of 20 animals in pyrex tubes at the edge of the chamber in a radial position.
- Source of air: compressed filtered air
- Method of conditioning air: A manometer and an air-flow meter were used to control the constant supply of compressed air and the exhaust, respectively. Flow rates were checked hourly and corrected if necessary.
- Oxygen content: The oxygen content in the inhalation chamber was 21% v/v. It was determined at the beginning and at the end of the exposure with a DRÄGER Oxygen-analysis test set (DRÄGER Tube Oxygen 67 28 081).
- Type or preparation of particles: The aerosol of the test item was obtained using a spray-jet. The spray-jet was fed with compressed air (5.0 bar) from a compressor and with the test item using a TSE infusion pump . At the bottom of the exposure chamber, the air was sucked off at a lower rate than created by the dust generator in order to produce a homogenous distribution and a positive pressure in the exposure chamber (inflow 900 L/h, outflow 800 L/h).
- Analysis of the aerosol concentration: The actual aerosol concentration in the inhalation chamber was measured 4 times gravimetrically with an air sample filter (Minisart SM 17598; 0.45 µm) and pump (Vacuubrand, MZ 2C ) controlled by a rotameter. Aerosol samples were taken once every hour during the exposure. For that purpose, a probe was placed close to the animals' noses in the inhalation chamber and air was sucked through the air sample filter at a constant flow of air of 5 L/min for 1 minute. The filters were weighed before and after sampling on an analytical balance (accuracy 0.1 mg).
- Method of particle size distribution: An analysis of the particle size distribution was carried out twice during the exposure period using a cascade impactor according to MAY .
The impactor is a device that classifies particles present in a sample of air or gas into known size ranges. It does this by drawing the air sample through a cascade of progressively finer nozzles. The air jets from these nozzles impact on pre-weighed plane sampling surfaces (slides).
Each stage represents an aerodynamic size range and collects finer particles than its predecessor. Each successive stage represents a special aerodynamic cut off diameter.
The dust from the exposure chamber was drawn through the cascade impactor for 1 minute at a constant flow rate of 5 L/min. The slides were removed from the impactor and weighed on an analytical balance (SARTORIUS, type 1601 004, precision 0.1 mg).
The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was estimated by means of non-linear regression analysis. The 32 µm particle size range and the filter (particle size range < 0.5 µm) were not included in the determination of the MMAD in order not to give undue weight to these values.
The Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD) of the MMAD was calculated from the quotient of the 84.1%- and the 50%-mass fractions, both obtained from the above mentioned non-linear regression analysis.
- Temperature, humidity: The temperature (22°C ± 3°C) and humidity was checked and noted once every hour during the exposure period of the experiment.

- Details on study design:
- EXAMINATIONS:
- Post dose observation period: 14 days
- body weights: Individual body weights of animals were determined 1 day before administration (acclimatisation period), on test day 1 prior to exposure and on test days 2, 4, 8 and 15.
- mortality: once per hour during, and once after treatment on day of exposure; thereafter twice daily
- clinical signs: . A careful clinical examination was made at least once daily until all symptoms subsided, thereafter each working day.
Cageside observations included, but were not limited to: changes in the skin and fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, as well as somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern.
Particular attention was directed to observation of tremor, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
- Necropsy: all animals was carried out and all gross pathological changes were recorded. In addition, the weight of the lungs was determined. - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, LC50-value for CD rats following inhalation of the test item for 4 hours was determined as follows (actual concentration): LC50: exceeding 5.09 mg test item/L air.
- Executive summary:
The aim of the present experiment was to obtain information on the acute toxicity and respiratory irritation, following a single 4-hour inhalation exposure of rats to the test item in an acute inhalation toxicity study.
Under the present test conditions, a 4-hour exposure to test item at the concentration of 5.03 mg/L air revealed slight ataxia and slight dyspnoea on test day 1 in all 3 of 3 male and 3 of 3 female animals. No animal died prematurely. One of 3 male and 1 of 3 female animals appeared to be reduced in body weight gain. No pathological findings were noted at necropsy.
