- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: The design of the exposure chamber is based on the flow past nose-only inhalation chamber. The chamber consisted of three animal sections with eight animal ports each. Each animal port had its own atmosphere inlet and exhaust outlet.
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Animals were placed in restraining tubes and connected to the animal ports.
- Source and rate of air: 1 L/min
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test substance was fed to a stream of pressurized air (mean air flow 22 L/min) by means of a spiral feeder and a vertically placed air mover. Vibrators were used to keep the material moving. The dust was passed through two vertical elutriators, allowing larger particles to settle, and subsequently let through the exposure chamber. The rotation speed of the feeder and air flow were varied to obtain the desired exposure concentration. The generation was interrupted eight times to remove test substance deposits from the system or to change the set-up. The generation time was elongated with 27 minutes in order to achieve an actual exposure time of 240 minutes.
- Method of particle size determination: The particle size distribution was characterized twice during the exposure period. The samples were drawn (2 L/min) from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the middle section of the exposure chamber. The samples were collected with an 8 stage Marple personal cascade impactor containing fiber glass filters and a fiber glass back-up filter. Amounts of test substance collected were measured gravimetrically. Subsequently the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) and the Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD) were determined.
- Treatment of exhaust air: From the exposure chamber the test atmosphere was passed through a filter before it was released to the exhaust of the fume hood.
- Temperature, humidity in air chamber: 20.0-20.2 °C, 24-28%
TEST SUBSTANCE PREPARATION: The test substance was sieved (wire mesh sieve 500 µm) and dried in a desiccator overnight prior to use.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The actual concentration was determined sixteen times during the exposure period. Samples were drawn from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the middle section of the exposure chamber. Samples were drawn through a glass fiber filter. The collected amount of the test substance in the air sample was measured gravimetrically. Sample volumes were measured by means of a dry gas meter. Subsequently the time-weighted mean concentration with the standard deviation was calculated.

Additional information
Oral
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a limit test according to OECD Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (Latour, 2014). A total dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance in propylene glycol was administered to two subsequent groups of three female Wistar rats. The total dose was administered as two dosages of 1000 mg/kg bw each (the first on t=0 hours and the second on t=3 hours), due to a maximum concentration of 10% test substance formulations. Animals were observed daily for clinical signs and body weight was determined weekly. Macroscopic examination was performed at the end of the 14-day observation period at terminal sacrifice. There were no mortalities during the observation period and body weight gain of all animals was considered to be normal. Uncoordinated movements were noted for one animal on Day 1 and hunched posture and piloerection were noted for all animals between Days 1 and 3. Macroscopic post mortem examination did not reveal any abnormalities. Based on the results of this study, the LD50 value was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats. In accordance with OECD Guideline 423, Annex 2d, a cut-off value of>5000 mg/kg bw was derived, since no mortality occurred at 2000 mg/kg bw.
Inhalation
The acute inhalation toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a limit test performed according to OECD Guideline 403 and in compliance with GLP (van Huygevoort, 2015). The test substance was administered as a dust by nose-only inhalation for 4 hours to one group of 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats to the technically maximum attainable concentration. The time-weighted mean actual concentration was 2.1 mg/L and the nominal concentration was 38 mg/L. The Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (gsd) were determined 4.0 µm (gsd 2.4) in two measurements during the exposure period. Animals were subjected to daily observations and determination of body weights on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice on Day 15. There was no mortality and no effects on body weight gain during the 14-day observation period. During exposure, no clinical signs were seen. After exposure, one female showed lethargy, hunched posture, laboured respiration and chromodacryorrhoea (eye left and right). The animal had recovered from the signs by Day 4. No clinical signs were seen for the other animals. Macroscopic post mortem examination revealed reddish discoloration of the thymus for one female. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the other animals. The LC50 value for inhalation toxicity is considered to be > 2.1 mg/L air.
Dermal
The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a limit test performed in 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Latour, 2014). A single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance in propylene glycol was applied to the clipped skin of rats under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice on Day 15. There was no mortality and no effects on body weight gain during the 14-day observation period. Scales and/or scabs were seen in the treated skin-area of 3 animals from Day 8 onwards. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The LD50 value for dermal toxicity is considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The reliable GLP compliant OECD Guideline study was chosen.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
The reliable GLP compliant OECD Guideline study was chosen.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
The reliable GLP compliant OECD Guideline study was chosen.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
