- Animals and Animal Husbandry
Male and female RccHan™ : WIST strain rats were supplied by Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK. On receipt the animals were randomly allocated to cages. After an acclimatization period of at least five days the animals were given a number unique within the study by ear punching and a number written on a color coded cage card. At the start of the study the animals were approximately eight to twelve weeks old and within the weight range of 200g to 350g. The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
The animals were housed in groups of up to five by sex in solid-floor polypropylene cages with stainless steel lids, furnished with softwood flakes (Datesand Ltd., Cheshire, UK) and provided with environmental enrichment items: wooden chew blocks and cardboard “fun tunnels” (Datesand Ltd., Cheshire, UK). With the exception of the exposure period, free access to mains drinking water and food (Rodent 2014C Teklad Global Certified Diet, Envigo RMS (UK) Limited, Oxon, UK) was allowed throughout the study. The diet, drinking water, bedding, chew blocks and cardboard “fun tunnels” are routinely analyzed and are considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70% respectively. The rate of air exchange was at least fifteen changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06:00 to 18:00) and twelve hours darkness. The animals were retained in this accommodation at all times except during the exposure period.

Atmosphere Generation
The test item was aerosolized using a glass concentric jet nebulizer (Radleys, Saffron Walden, Essex, UK) located at the top of the exposure chamber. The nebulizer was connected to a glass syringe attached to an infusion pump, which provided a continuous supply of test item under pressure, and to a metered compressed air supply.
Compressed air was supplied by means of an oil free compressor and passed through a water trap and respiratory quality filters before it was introduced to the nebulizer.
The cylindrical exposure chamber had a volume of approximately 30 liters (dimensions: 28 cm diameter x 50 cm high). The concentration within the exposure chamber was controlled by adjusting the rate of the infusion pump. The extract from the exposure chamber passed through a ‘scrubber’ trap and was connected with a high efficiency filter to a metered exhaust system.
Homogeneity of the test atmosphere within the chamber was not specifically determined during this study. Chambers of the same design (ADG Developments Ltd, Hitchin, Herts, UK) have been fully validated and shown to produce evenly distributed atmospheres in the animals’ breathing zone with a wide variety of test items (Green J D et al, 1984).
Prior to the start of the study, test item atmospheres were generated within the exposure chamber. During this characterization period test item input rates were varied to achieve the required atmospheric conditions.
Exposure Procedure
One day prior to the day of exposure, each rat was acclimatized (for approximately 2 hours) to a tapered polycarbonate restraining tube. During the day of exposure, each rat was individually held in a tapered, polycarbonate restraining tube fitted onto a single tier of the exposure chamber and sealed by means of a rubber ‘O’ ring. Only the nose of each animal was exposed to the test atmosphere.
Following an appropriate equilibration period, a single group of ten rats (five males and five females) was exposed to an atmosphere of the test item for a period of four hours. After the results of the sighting study were available a target concentration of 5.0 mg/L was used for the exposure. As the mean achieved concentration was 107 % of target and only one death occurred, no further levels were required.
Sighting Exposure
During characterization, a group of two rats (one male, one female) were exposed to an atmosphere of the test item at a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 2.43 mg/L for approximately four hours. No significant effects were noted for either animal.
Exposure Chamber Temperature and Relative Humidity
The temperature and relative humidity inside the exposure chamber were measured by an electronic thermometer/humidity meter (Hanna Instruments Ltd, Beds., UK) located in a vacant port in the animals’ breathing zone of the chamber and recorded every thirty minutes throughout the four-hour exposure period.
Exposure Chamber Oxygen Concentration
Oxygen levels within the exposure chamber were measured by an electronic oxygen analyzer (Servomex (UK) Ltd, Crowborough, East Sussex) located in a port in the animals breathing zone during the four-hour exposure period. The test atmosphere was generated to contain at least 19% oxygen.
Exposure Chamber Atmosphere Concentration
Prior to the inhalation phase of the study, the non-volatile component of the test item was determined by adding a small, known amount of test item to glass fiber filters and recording their weights. The filters were then dried in a desiccator at room temperature for approximately 24 hours and then weighed again. The difference in the two weights was taken as the volatile content of the test item and the non-volatile component was calculated as a percentage. The non-volatile component of the batch used during the study was found to be approximately 0.73 % (n=2). Due to the low levels of non-volatiles contained within this test item it was considered appropriate to use chemical analysis in order to determine test atmosphere concentrations for all exposure groups.
The test atmosphere was sampled nine times during the exposure period. The sampling procedure involved 2 liters of test atmosphere being drawn through a glass impinger containing Hexane (made up to 80mL). The samples were then submitted for chemical analysis.
The nominal chamber concentration was calculated by dividing the mass of test item used by the total volume of air passed through the chamber.
The nominal concentration was 595 % of the actual mean achieved atmosphere concentration and shows that keeping the aerosol airborne was moderately difficult.
Particle Size Distribution
The particle size of the generated atmosphere inside the exposure chamber was determined three times during the exposure period using a Marple Personal Cascade Impactor (Westech IS Ltd, Beds., UK). This device consisted of six impactor stages (8.4, 7.3, 3.6, 1.3, 0.94 and 0.43 µm cut points) with stainless steel collection substrates and a backup glass fiber filter, housed in an aluminum sampler. The sampler was temporarily sealed in a sampling port in the animals’ breathing zone and a suitable, known volume of exposure chamber air was drawn through it using a vacuum pump.
The collection substrates and backup filter were weighed before and after sampling and the weight of test item, collected at each stage, calculated by difference.
The mean amount for each stage was used to determine the cumulative amount below each cut-off point size. In this way, the proportion (%) of aerosol less than 8.4, 7.3, 3.6, 1.3, 0.94 and 0.43 µm was calculated.
The resulting values were converted to probits and plotted against Log10 cut-point size. From this plot, the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) was determined (as the 50% point) and the geometric standard deviation was calculated. In addition the proportion (%) of aerosol less than 4 µm (considered to be the inhalable fraction) was determined. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

- Observations
Clinical Signs
All animals were observed for clinical signs at hourly intervals during exposure, immediately on removal from the restraining tubes at the end of exposure, one hour after termination of exposure and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Any deaths or evidence of overt toxicity were recorded at each observation.
Body Weight
Individual body weights were recorded on arrival, prior to treatment on the day of exposure and on Days 1, 3, 7 and 14 or at death.
Necropsy
At the end of the fourteen day observation period the surviving animals were killed by intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone. All animals, including the one that was humanely killed during the course of the study were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. The respiratory tract was subjected to a detailed macroscopic examination for signs of irritancy or local toxicity.

- Body weight:
- All male animals and four females exhibited body weight losses on the first day post-exposure. With the exception of one female animal which exhibited a slight body weight loss from Days 3 to 7 post-exposure, body weight gains were noted for all surviving animals during the final week of the recovery period.
- Gross pathology:
- Dark patches on the lungs were noted amongst two animals that survived until the end of the recovery period at necropsy, no macroscopic abnormalities were detected amongst the other surviving seven animals.
Dark patches on the lungs were noted at necropsy in the animal that was humanely killed during the course of the study:
Due to the clinical observations noted and macroscopic abnormalities detected, the contributing factor to the death noted during the study may have been mainly attributable to systemic toxicity.
