Dermal
The acute dermal toxicity of Dried Sludge from Domestic Waste water was tested in accordance with OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity: Fixed Dose Procedure). The item was tested a group of 5 female Wistar rats. The body weight of all the animals were measured on the last day of acclimatization for the dose range finding study. Based on the individual body weight, the test item at the dose of 200, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight was weighed in aluminum foil and made into paste by adding 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mL of Milli-Q water respectively and was completely transferred on to the cotton gauze (size: Females: 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply) and applied directly (semi-occlusive) to the clipped skin of the rat to cover about 10% of body surface of the rat and secured in position by adhesive tape wound around the torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours. After the 24 hours contact period, the dressing was removed, and the applied area was washed with deionized water and wiped dry using clean towels.
The animals were observed for clinical signs and pre-terminal deaths (mortality) once during first 30 minutes after application, and at hourly intervals for 6 hours after application on the day of treatment (day 1) and once daily during Days 2 to 15. In addition, the site of applied area was observed for skin reactions at 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of test chemical using the Draize criteria. There were no clinical signs and pre-terminal deaths (mortality) observed during the study and there were no skin reactions at the site of application at 24, 48 and 72 hours after test patch removal. Individual body weights of animals were recorded on test days 1 (Pre-application), 8 (7 days post application), and 15 (14 days post application). All rats gained body weight throughout the observation period.
At the end of the observation period, all rats were euthanised and exsanguinated under isoflurane anesthesia and subjected to detailed necropsy. No abnormalities were detected during the necropsy.
Based on the present study results, the acute dermal LD50 of Dried Sludge from Domestic Waste water is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight in female Wistar rats. The test item, Dried Sludge from Domestic Wastewater is classified as “Category 5” (the dermal LD50 range of 2000 to 5000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals 2021, as there was no mortality observed at 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Inhalation
The acute inhalation toxicity of Dried Sludge from Domestic Waste water was tested in accordance with OECD Guideline 403 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity). The item was tested in Wistar rats with one treatment group (G1). 3 male and 3 female Wistar rats were exposed to test item. The test item was made into fine powder using marshall mars mill and sieve. During technical pre-test, the fine powder was tested at 50 mm/hr piston speed and at 8 LPM airflow rate with using dust generator and generated good dust aerosol. The rats were housed in special rat restrainers which provided nose exposure only. All rats were exposed to the dust for 4 hours on the day of exposure. Thereafter, all rats were subjected to a 14 days post-treatment observation period.
The dust aerosol was sampled from the inhalation chamber to determine particle size distribution, Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) and Geometric standard deviation (GSD). Particle size of the aerosol generated in the chamber air was determined two times i.e., during the first and fourth hour of the exposure period using any one port. The MMAD and GSD was calculated using seven stage cascade impactor. The overall mean MMAD of 2.41 micrometers and GSD of 1.73 was observed for G1 group. The value for Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) 1-4 μm and geometric standard deviation (GSD) 1.5 to 3.0 for the test item were within the range for G1 group as recommended by OECD guidance document no. 39 on acute inhalation testing. Body weights were recorded once during the acclimatization period and on day 1 (pre-exposure), 2, 4 (3 days post exposure), 8 (7 days post exposure) and 15 (14 days post exposure). All rats gained bodyweight throughout the experiment period. At the end of the observation period, all rats were euthanised using isoflurane anesthesia and subjected to detailed necropsy. There were no mortalities observed during the experimental period and there were no abnormality detected at necropsy. The acute inhalation (4 hours) Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) value of “Dried Sludge from Domestic Waste Water” is more than 5.1 mg/L of chamber air in male and female Wistar rats.
Based on the results of the present study, the test item “Dried Sludge from Domestic Waste Water” is classified as category 5 as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Ninth Revised Edition, United Nations (2021). ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.9, as there was no mortality at 5.1 mg/L of chamber air in both male and female Wistar rats.
Oral
The Dried Sludge from domestic Wastewater was tested according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method). No toxicity information is available the for the test item. Hence the test was initiated with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. The test item was administered orally to a group of experimental animals at one of the defined dose (i.e. 300 mg/kg body weight) as a first step (G1-FTS). All the three female rats were survived. The test was continued with same dose of 300 mg/kg body weight with three additional female rats at next treatment step (G1-STS). All rats were normal and no pre-terminal deaths. The test item was administered to experimental animals at higher dose (2000 mg/kg body weight) as a first step (G2-FTS) and all the rats survived. The test was continued at the same dose of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (G2-STS) and all rats were survived. Dosing was stopped. The subsequent dosing was done at approximately 48-72 hours after the previous step. The prepared test item dose formulations were administered at the dose volume of 10 mL/kg bodyweight to attain the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight (G1–FTS and G1-STS) and 2000 mg/kg body weight (G2–FTS and G2-STS) as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted rats (16 to 18 hours).
At each step, the animals were observed five times on test day 1 (day of administration). There was no mortality or pre-terminal deaths. The body weights were recorded on test day 1 (pre-administration), day 8 (7 days post administration) and day 15 (14 days post administration) and at death. All survived rats gained weight during experimental period. The rats surviving to the end of the observation period were euthanized by using isoflurane anaesthesia and subjected to detailed necropsy. No abnormality was detected at necropsy.
Based on the results of the present study, the acute oral LD50 of Dried Sludge from Domestic wastewater is 5000 mg/kg as per the LD50 cut-off value.

No toxicity information was available for the test item Dried Sludge from Domestic wastewater. Hence the study was initiated with 300 mg/kg bodyweight. The dose formulation was prepared by using milli-Q-water and administered as a single oral gavage to overnight fasted (16 to 18 hours) three female rats (G1-FTS) at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. All rats were normal and no pre-terminal deaths. The treatment was continued by dosing three additional female rats at the same dose of 300 mg/kg body weight (G1-STS) and all rats were normal and no pre-terminal deaths. As per the scheme - The treatment was continued by dosing three additional female rats at the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (G2-FTS) and all rats were normal and no pre-terminal deaths. Again, treatment was done by dosing three additional female rats at the same dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (G2-STS) and all rats were normal and no pre-terminal deaths. The dosing was stopped as per Annex 2c.
The prepared dose formulation was administered at the dose volume of 10 mL/kg bodyweight.
The rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days post treatment. There was no mortality or pre-terminal deaths. Body weights were recorded prior to dosing on day 1 and again on days 8 and 15. Necropsy was performed for all the survived and dead rats. All survived rats gained weight during experimental period. There were no gross pathological changes at necropsy.
The dose formulation analysis was performed for the G1-FTS (300 mg/kg body weight) & G2-FTS (2000 mg/kg body weight). The results were considered acceptable, as the percent agreements of the analyzed concentrations are within the range of 70% to 120% of the claimed concentrations. Homogeneity of the dose formulation was considered acceptable as % RSD from six replicates at each dose level is ≤ 20.0%, hence back up samples discarded.
Based on the results of the present study, the test item, Dried Sludge from Domestic wastewater in Wistar rats is classified as follows:
- The LD50 cut off value is 5000 mg/kg body weight or unclassified.
The test item, Dried Sludge from Domestic wastewater is classified as follows:
- The test item is classified as “Category 5 or unclassified” as per Globally Harmonized Classification system of Annex 2c of the Guideline, OECD 423.
- The test item is classified as “Category 5” (2000<ATE≤5000 mg/kg) as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Ninth Revised Edition, United Nations (2021).

The equipment is designed and operated in slight positive pressure so that the genuine test atmosphere is dynamically delivered to each port and exhaled air from exposed animals is immediately exhausted. The volume of the inhalation chamber is 0.7 liters. (Manufactured by SMIT Fabricators).
The nose only, flow-past exposure chamber consists of two chambers, the aerosol inlet chamber (Diameter 10 cm × Height 8 cm) and the aerosol exhaust chamber (Diameter 20 cm × Height 10 cm). The chambers are cylindrical in shape and placed one next to the other. The chamber has 12 ports into a central plenum arranged in a row and these ports are open at the outer cylindrical chamber for fixing the animal restrainers and provisions for sampling aerosol, recording of oxygen content, carbon dioxide content, chamber temperature and humidity. The Air compressor provides compressed air. The compressed air is dehumidified, filtered and reduced by filter reducer assembly to the required pressure (2 kg/cm2) at the use point.
Animals were restrained in glass exposure restrainers (size approximately Length 23 cm, Diameter 7 cm). These restrainers make an airtight seal with the plenum tube through a rubber gasket. Within the plenum is a central tube into which the aerosol enters at each port. Air flow carries the aerosol to the nose of the animals restrained in position at the open ends of the tubes.

Diet: ad libitum
Rat & mice pellet feed, manufactured by Krishna Valley Agrotech LLP, MIDC Kupwad block, Sangli, Maharashtra, was provided to animals. Diet analysis report is enclosed as Annexure 1.
Water: ad libitum
The animals were provided deep bore-well water passed through activated charcoal filter and exposed to UV rays in ‘Aquaguard’ on-line water filtercum-purifier manufactured by Eureka Forbes Ltd., Mumbai 400 001, India, was provided to animals in polycarbonate bottles with stainless steel sipper tubes.
Technical pre-test
The test item was made into fine powder using marshall mars mill and sieve.A technical pre-test was conducted without animals to check the feasibility of generating adequate test atmosphere (Test item concentration, particle size distribution, O2, CO2, temperature and relative humidity) after chamber equilibrium. The chamber air actual concentration was estimated gravimetrically.
Sighting study:
The test item was made into fine powder using marshall mars mill and sieve. During technical pre-test, the fine powder was tested at 50 mm/hr piston speed and at 8 LPM airflow rate with using dust generator and generated good dust aerosol. Based on technical pre-test results, the sighting study was conducted as per OECD 403 Traditional Protocol using 3 male and 3 female rats and the rats were exposed to the test item dust aerosol.
The exposed rats were observed for 7 days for clinical signs and necropsied.
No abnormality was detected in surviving rats at necropsy.
Based on the sighting study results, the following piston speed was selected for the limit test.
G1 : Powder test item with 50 mm/h piston speed and at 8 LPM air flow rate
Limit test
The exposure conditions maintained during the sighting study were adopted for
the limit test.
Grouping
Three male and three female rats were assigned to the study group by body weight stratification during acclimatization. Animals with extreme body weights were not used in the study and were excluded from the treatment.
Animal restraint during exposure:
The rats were housed individually in the special rat restrainer (as detailed under exposure chamber) which provided nose exposure only. Food and water were withheld during the exposure period.
Treatment and duration of exposure / observation:
All the rats as per the group allotted was exposed to the dust for four hours on the day of exposure. Thereafter, all rats were subjected to a 14 days post-treatment observation period.
Conditions monitored during exposure:
The chamber temperature and humidity were recorded at hourly intervals, i.e. four times during the exposure period using the inhalation chamber monitor. The instrument uses a semiconductor sensor has been used for measuring the temperature inside the chamber and capacitive sensor is used for the measurement of relative humidity.
Atomizer pressure: The atomizer pressure of 2 kg/cm2 was maintained.
Airflow rate: The airflow rate was monitored continuously and the airflow of 8LPM was maintained.
Aerosol Particle Size Analysis:
Particle size of the aerosol generated in the chamber air was determined two times i.e., during the first and fourth hour of the exposure period using any one port. The air samples from the inner chamber (breathing zone level by the rats)was passed at sampling rate of 4 LPM and sampling duration of 1 minutethrough the seven stage cascade impactor. The MMAD and Geometric standard deviation (GSD) were calculated.
The value for Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) 1-4 µm and
geometric standard deviation (GSD) 1.5-3.0 for the test item was within the
range for G1 group, as recommended by OECD guidance document no. 39 on
acute inhalation testing.
Oxygen (O2) and Carbon dioxide (CO2) content in the chamber air:
The inhalation chamber monitor was used to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the inhalation chamber during exposure. These Parameters were determined three times (first, fourth hour and another during the third hour of exposure) during exposure period using any one port. The instrument uses a sealed electrochemical sensor for detecting oxygen and nondispersive infra-red sensor (NDIR) is used for the detection of carbon dioxide gas.
Determination of Breathing Zone Concentration (BZC) of test item concentration in chamber air (Sighting study / Limit test):
Sample collection:
The test item concentration at the animals’ breathing zone of the inhalation chamber was determined using gravimetric filter analysis method and active ingredient (a.i) analysis method also. Aerosol samples were drawn from one port at hourly intervals of the 4hour exposure period. The chamber air was passed through the gravimetric single filter paper (Whatman glass microfiber filters, No. 47 mm) by suction applied using vacuum pump.
Air Sample Analysis :
Actual test item concentrations were analyzed (from the sample collected at animals breathing zone) for active ingredient concentration. The concentration of test item in air inhalation samples was determined byusing an in-house developed and validated analytical method.
Clinical Signs and pre-terminal deaths:
The rats were observed for pre-terminal deaths four times during day 1 (at hourly intervals during the exposure) and twice after release of rats from the restrainers for clinical signs of toxicity / pre-terminal deaths and once daily during days 2-15. All observed clinical signs were recorded.
Observation included changes in skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, and also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern. Attention was directed to observations of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Body weights:
Body weights were recorded once during the acclimatization period and on day 1 (pre-exposure), 2, 4 (3 days post exposure), 8 (7 days post exposure) and 15 (14 days post exposure).
Necropsy:
At the end of the observation period, all rats were euthanised using isoflurane anesthesia and subjected to detailed necropsy by an experienced prosector. Particular attention was given to any changes in the respiratory tract. - Sex:
