Attention was also paid to possible tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Observations on prematurely deceased animals were made at least once daily to minimize loss of animals during the study. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible.

Changes in weight were calculated and recorded.
At the end of the experiments, all animals were sacrificed, dissected and inspected macroscopically. All gross pathological changes were recorded. - Statistics:

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: A GC was equipped with a splitless injection port and two test columns, connected together (for better resolution) and a flame ionization detector were used to monitor the nose-only exposure system. The GC was not calibrated because no reliable method was found to make GC standards; however, earlier studies indicated that GC was a quick, useful method to monitor acrylamide concentration stability and 0.5 mL samples of acrylamide vapour were analyzed at approximate 15-minute intervals to monitor system stability. An HPLC was used to determine the vapour concentration of acrylamide. Vapour samples of 25 mL were taken at approximate 30-minute intervals, dissolved in 150 µL of water and then analyzed by HPLC. The samples taken by this method were the primary concentration measurements because the analysis was completed closer to real-time than the impinger method.
