- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Mode of exposure: Animals were exposed to the aerosolized test item in Plexiglas exposure restrainers. Restrainers were chosen that accommodated the animals' size. These restrainers were designed so that the rat's tail remained outside the restrainer, thus restrained-induced hyperthermia can be avoided. This type of exposure principle is comparable with a directed-flow exposure design.The chambers used are commercially available (TSE, 61348 Bad Homburg) and the performance as well as their validation has been published.
- Description of apparatus: Dry conditioned air was used to generate the test item atmospheres The test atmosphere was conveyed through openings in the inner concentric cylinder of the chamber, directly towards the rats' breathing zone. This directed-flow arrangement minimizes re-breathing of exhaled test atmosphere. Each inhalation chamber segment was suitable to accommodate 20 rats at the perimeter location. All air flows were monitored and adjusted continuously by means of calibrated and computer controlled mass-flow-controllers. A digitally controlled calibration flow meter was used to monitor the accuracy of mass-flow-controller. The ratio between supply and exhaust air was selected so that 85-90% of the supplied air was extracted via the exhaust air location and, if applicable, via sampling ports. Gas scrubbing devices were used for exhaust air clean-up. The slight positive balance between the air volume supplied and extracted ensured that no passive influx of air into the exposure chamber occurred (via exposure restrainers or other apertures). The slight positive balance provides also adequate dead-space ventilation of the exposure restrainers. The pressure difference between the inner inhalation chamber and the exposure zone was 0.02 cm H20. The exposure system was accommodated in an adequately ventilated enclosure. Temperature and humidity are measured by the Data Acquisition and Control System using calibrated sensors. The sensors were located in the inhalation chamber.
- Source and rate of air: Inlet Air Flow (l/min): 15; Exhaust Air Flow (1imin): 12.8
- Method of conditioning air: Compressed air was supplied by Boge compressors and was conditioned (i.e. freed from water, dust, and oil) automatically by a BEKO RA 55 compressed air dryer. Adequate control devices were employed to
control supply pressure.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: A modified BGI 3-nozzle Collison nebulizer (Type CN-25 MRE, BGIInc., Waltham MA, USA) was used in order to attain a high and temporally stable concentration of exposure atmospheres. The representative dispersion pressure was approximately 420-450 kPa. The Collision Nebulizer was maintained at 25°C using a thermostat.
- Method of particle size determination: The particle-size distribution was analyzed using a BERNER critical orifice cascade impactor.
- Treatment of exhaust air: The exhaust air was purified via filter systems.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber:
Air pressure (kPa): 450 (control); 420 (test item); Rel. Humidity (mean, %): 94.5 (control); 83.4 (test item); Temperature (mean, "C): 21.4 (control); 21.9 (test item)
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The test-substance concentration was determined by gravimetric analysis (filter: glass-fiber filter, Sartorius, Gottingen, Germany; postsampling conditioning period of 30 min (at 70°C); 10 min equilibration in an exsiccator; digital balance). The integrity and stability of the aerosol generation and exposure system was measured by using a RAS-2 real-time aerosol photometer (MIE, Bedford,Massachusetts, USA). Samples were taken continuously from the vicinity of the breathing zone.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
VEHICLE
- Concentration of test material in vehicle: 50% (w/v)

- Other examinations performed: Reflexes were tested, based on recommendations made by Irwin (Psychopharmacologica 13, 1968, 222-257). Rectal temperatures were measured shortly after cessation of exposure (approximately within ½hour after the end of exposure) using a digital thermometer with a rectal probe for rats. - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
A study on the acute inhalation toxicity was conducted according to OECD TG 403 and OECD GD 39. Male and female rats were nose-only exposed to the liquid aerosol of test item at the maximal technical attainable concentration of 3038 mg/m³. Lewatit© water was used as vehicle to reduce viscosity and increase the maximum attainable concentration. The respirability of the aerosol was adequate and in compliance with test guidelines (MMAD 1.66 µm, GSD 1.99). Rats exposed to 3038 mg/m³ did neither reveal clinical symptoms, reduction in incremental body weight, changes in reflexes nor reduction in body temperature after the exposure. Four out of ten rats showed gross pathological findings in the lungs on day 14 (e.g. few gray areas, few dark-red foci). The LC50 (4 h) was thus concluded to be > 3038 mg/m³.
