- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: test animals were exposed in a specially constructed Plexiglas inhalation chamber. The chamber was designed so that the animals could be introduced to the test atmosphere after the maximum dust concentration was established.
- Exposure chamber volume: 70 liters
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: not further specified; each animal was caged separately during exposure to minimize filtration of inspired air by animal fur.
- Source and rate of air: air flow rate through the system was 4.1 L/min at 29.92 inches Hg and 25°C (measured with a rotameter connected upstream of the dust feeder). The rotameter was calibrated with a wet-test meter after the exposure was completed.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: dust was suspended with a specially designed dust feeder capable of producing high concentrations over a long period of time. The test material powder was passed through a high-velocity stream of clean dry air (-40°C dewpoint). The resulting air and dust mixture was then introduced into the exposure chamber at the top center, dispersed by a baffle plate and exhausted at the bottom of the chamber.
- Method of particle size determination: a sample of airborne dust was collected from the test atmosphere for the purpose of conducting a microscopic determination of particle size distribution. Particles were counted with respect to three size ranges, viz. 5 µm or smaller (considered to be respirable), 6-25 µm and >25 µm. The smallest particle which can be detected by the light-field technique employed is approximately µm. The largest particle observed was also recorded.
- Treatment of exhaust air: no data
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: the temperature of the test atmosphere was 22.5°C and the pressure was 30.50 inches Hg.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: the concentration of test material dust present in the exposure chamber was determined by sampling the test atmosphere in the breathing zone of the animals being exposed. The total weight of dust collected on a glass fiber filter was divided by the total volume of air drawn through the filter during the sampling period. Air flow rate for sampling was regulated by a calibrated limiting orifice. The average concentration of airborne dust, obtained by repeated air sampling, was 2200 mg/m3 air at 25°C and 29.92 inches Hg.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: Table 1 - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- not specified
- Remarks:
- not specified
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- 2200 mg/m3
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: initial and final body weights and reactions were recorded; the exposure was designed to run for a 4-hour period, during which time observations were made with respect to incidence of mortality and reactions displayed. At the end of the exposure period, the rats were returned to their stock cages and observed for the following 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, gross pathologic examinations were scheduled to be conducted upon all animals which might succumb during the test period and upon those sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period. - Statistics:
- In the event of significant mortality following the initial exposure, arrangements were made to conduct additional experiments at lower dust concentrations in order to acquire data sufficient to calculate the acute dust inhalation median lethal concentration (LC50) of the test material employing the method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:

- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 2 200 mg/m³ air (nominal)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: No deaths were noted during the four-hour exposure period or 14-day observation period which followed
- Mortality:
- No deaths were noted during the four-hour exposure period or 14-day observation period which followed.
- Clinical signs:
- other: No abnormal behavioral reactions were noted during the four-hour exposure period or 14-day observation period which followed.
- Body weight:
- Some animals lost weight and the average body weight gain was slightly lower than historical control data (Table 1).
- Gross pathology:
- Necropsy, performed on all animals at the end of the two-week observation period, revealed slight to moderate diffuse focal red discoloration of the lungs in six rats. There were no other gross pathologic alterations in any of the other tissues and organs examined.
