- Route and Rationale of Test Substance Administration
Inhalation by whole body exposure was the route of administration, since this is an anticipated route of exposure to humans.
Inhalation Methods
The fresh HEPA filtered dry air was used for bubbling and dilution of test substance at a constant temperature. Test substance vapor was generated from reservoir by bubbling. The vapor was diluted to the target concentrations of each exposure group and supplied into the inhalation chambers. Rats were then exposed to the test substance in the exposure chambers. Chambers were constructed of stainless-steel and glass and were operated under dynamic conditions.
Exposure Period
Male and female rats were exposed once to the test substance for six hours.
Target Exposure Concentration Levels
Rats were exposed to the test substance at target concentrations of 0, 300, 1,000, 3,000, 10,000 and 30,000 ppm.
Measurement of Actual Exposure Concentrations
Actual exposure concentrations of the test substance in each chamber were measured every 15 minutes by gas chromatography (GC). The GC samples were constantly drawn by vacuum pump (7000 mL/min) through stainless steel lines (15-20m) from each chamber to GC. This constant flow assured the delivery of fresh sample to GC without condensation. The GC was equipped with an automatic stream selector valve, a 0.2mL sample loop, flame ionization detector, and a 3mmx1.5m column packed with 15% chromosorb W on silicon D.C.200 80/100, operated at 80°C. The carrier gas was nitrogen. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 9 923 - < 29 440 ppm
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 6 h
- Mortality:
- All rats except rats in the 29440 ppm group survived to the end of the study. All male and female rats in the 29440 ppm exposure group died within 3 hrs from the start of exposure.
- Clinical signs:
- other: No clinical signs were noted in all surviving rats.
- Body weight:
- Mean body weights of male and femal rats in all exposure groups were similar to that of the control group. However, the mean body weight of female rats in the 9923 ppm exposure group was slightly lower on day 1 than day 0 of the study.
- Gross pathology:
- There were no substance-related gross findings detected in any exposure group.
- Other findings:
- Food consumption of males in the 991 ppm exposure group increased significantly comared with control group at week 2 of the study. However, since it was not a concentration-related change, it was considered to be spontaneous change. Food consumption of male and female rats in the other exposure groups were similar to that of the control group.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sligthly toxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this key study, the LC50 value for both male and female rats exposed to 2-bromopropane for 6 hr was between 9923 and 29440 ppm.
- Executive summary:
In a CoR 1 acute inhalation toxicity study, groups of young adult Crj: CD (SD) rats (5 males/5 females per dose) were whole body exposed by the inhalation route to 2 -bromopropane (99.96% purity) for 6 hours at concentrations of 0, 295, 991, 2963, 9923 and 29440 ppm. Animals then were observed for 14 days.
LC50Males = >9,923 ppm but <29,440 ppm
Females = >9,923 ppm but <29,440 ppm
Combined = >9,923 ppm but < 29,440 ppm
