Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 436 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity: Acute Toxic Class Method)

Deviations:

no

Principles of method if other than guideline:

(1): Ventilation of the animal room was shut down in the following period during the scheduled maintenance of the power source of the test facility. 19:00-22:38 on November 9, 2013 Since it was confirmed temperature and relative humidity were within the permissible range and the body weights of animals increased, it was concluded that this deviation did not affect the study results.

(2): The test substance concentrations in the test atmosphere were made unscheduled measurements before the animal exposures. Since the exposure concentrations were maintained to the target concentrations based on these operations, it was concluded that these deviations did not affect the study reliability.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

inhalation: gas

Type of inhalation exposure:

whole body

Vehicle:

air

Details on inhalation exposure:

The test substance gas at intended concentration was generated by passing through specified pressurized air into the test substance in a stainless-steel cylinder held into a constant temperature water bath set at 10°C. The generated gas was passing through a heat exchanger set at 10°C after mixing it with pressurized air at 10 L/min. Then the test atmosphere was prepared by mixing the diluted gas with pressurized air at 6 L/min. The test atmosphere was continuously supplied to the chamber to expose it to the rats. The air from the chamber was exhausted to outside air after passing through an activated carbon filter. The rats held in the restraint tubes were connected to the chamber to start exposure after concentration of hydrocarbon of the test atmosphere (relative concentration) reached temporally equilibrium. The rats were disconnected from the chamber to terminate exposure 4 hours after the start of exposure.
