Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:

- Type of inhalation exposure:
- whole body

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Glass exposure chamber
- Exposure chamber volume: 26.5 litres
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: no data
- Source and rate of air: dry air at 10.0 l/min
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: modified Laskin nebulizer
- Temperature air chamber: temperature 18.4 - 23.5 - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- no
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- nominal concentrations of test material based on sample dispensed via nebulizer: 6.34, 9.15, 12.7, 16.9 mg/L (nominal concentrations calculated in terms of TBHP: 1.09, 1.57, 2.18, 2.91 mg/L)
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 males 5 females
- Control animals:
- yes
- Details on study design:
- Observations for abnormalities were recorded prior to the exposure, at 15 minute intervals during the first hour of exposure, hourly for the remainder of the exposure, upon removal from the chamber, hourly for four hours post-exposure and daily thereafter for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to exposure (day 0), and on days 1, 2, 4, 7, and 14 (terminus). On day 14, surviving animals were sacrified (exsanguination under ethyl ether anaesthesia) and gross necropsy examinations were performed. All animals dying spontaneously were necropsied as soon as possible after death.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- 1.85 mg/L air
- 95% CL:
- 1.58 - 2.16
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: nominal TBHP concentration (aerosol)
- Mortality:
- Nominal TBHP concentrations of 2.91, 2.18, 1.57 and 1.09 mg/L produced 100%, 60%, 40% and 0% mortalities respectively.
- Clinical signs:
- other: 2.91 mg/L dosing group: all of the animals exhibited decreased activity, closing of eyes, excessive lacrimation and gasping within 15 minutes of exposure initiation. During the 4 hour post-exposure observation period gasping continued in all or most of t
- Body weight:
- 2.91 mg/l dosing group: Animals which survived through day 2 or 3 showed steady weight losses prior to death.
2.18 mg/l dosing group: Body weight data for survivors indicated sharp weight losses immediately after the exposures. Steady weight gains were seen from day 2 or day 4 through day 14, although the final body weights were somewhat lower than those in the control group when compared to starting body weights.
1.57 mg/l dosing group: Body weight data on the surviving animals showed substantial weight losses on day 1 or 2, followed by normal regains through day 14.
1.09 mg/l dosing group: Body weight patterns appeared similar to those seen in the control group. - Gross pathology:
- Findings included lung discolouration (mottling or foci) in all of the animals, liver discolouration in five animals, discolouration and distension of the intestines in five animals, distension of the stomach in two animals, distension of the caecum in one animal, discolouration of the trachea in one animal and constriction of the trachea in one animal.
Any other information on results incl. tables
No analytical verification of the exposure concentrations was conducted during the study (nominal concentrations in test chambers were calculated from sample weights nebulised and measured TBHP content in test material samples taken from atmosphere generation equipment).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- harmful
- Remarks:
- Migrated information R20 Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The results of the study show that TBHP is fatal to rats via exposure through the inhalation route with an acute LD50 value of 1.85 mg/l.
- Executive summary:
The results of the study show that TBHP is fatal to rats via exposure through the inhalation route with an acute LC50 value of 1.85 mg/l. This value warrants classification as Category 2 acute inhalation toxicant under Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
