- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
Tes test substance was mixed in an appropirately sized Erlenmeyer flask on a stirplate with a magnetic stir br with the vehicle (acetone).
The test substance mixture or the vehicle was fed directly via 1/8'' Teflon tubing from the flask, through a FMI Fluid Metering Pump with a 1/8'' piston and into an air atomizing nozzle. as a vapor/aerosol. House-line air was delivered from a regulator and backpressure gauge, via 1/4'' tubing and connected to a plastic Y tube taht split the airflow into the generation and dilution systems. The generation air (20Lpm) was directed, via 1/4" tubing, through a flowmeter regaulated by a metering valve, and a blackpressure gauge, to the inlet of the air atomizing nozzle to produce the aerosol.

During exposure periods; desired temperature = 20-24°C, Actual = 16-30°C
During exposure periods; desired Relative Humidity = 40-60%, Actual = 10-61%
- Method of particle size determination: TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer

Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Clinical signs:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The only-treatment related responses during the exposures were labored breathing and decreased activity noted in the 500 mg/m3 exposure group beginning with the third exposure.
Signs of toxicity noted during the morning or afternoon viability checks during the 2-week exposure period included decreased fecal volume, decreased feed consumption, prostration, yellow stains on the ventral surface, red nasal discharge, irregular gait, lethargy, head bobbing, poor conditions, pale, blackwards walking and labored breathing. These signs were seen most frequently in the 500 and 1500 mg/m3 exposed animals preceding the animals being euthanized or found dead.
Yellow stains on the ventral surface were also frequently noted in the 150 mg/m3 exposed animals.
Irregular gait was also occasionally noted during the afternoon viability checks in the acetone contro and 150 mg/m3 exposed animals; this was probably a vehicle (cns depression) effect.
Clinical signs seen in the 150 mg/m3 group were considered to be of no toxicological importance. - Mortality:
- mortality observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence):
- There were 18 unscheduled deaths during the study.
1 of the 1500 mg/m3 exposed female was found dead on the morning after the second exposure and ALL of the remaining animals of this group were sacrified in poor health on that day thus terminating this exposure level early.
4 of 5 males and 4 of 5 females exposed to 500 mg/mg3 were euthanized in a moribund conditions or found dead during the 2 weeks of exposure.
2 animals (1 by sex) from this test group survived to study termination.
All animals in the control and 150 mg/m3 groups survived to study termination - Body weight and weight changes:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No toxicologically meaningful differences in BW in the 150 mg/m3 exposed animals compared to the Acetone control animals.
The 500 mg/m3 exposed animals showed significant less weight gain than the Acetone control animals during the first week of exposure. - Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A significant decrease in feed consumption (grams/animals/day and grams/kg/day) was noted in the 500 mg/m3 exposed female animals during the first week of exposure.
A statistically significant increase in feed consumption was noted in the 150 mg/m3 exposed male animals during the second week of exposures. However an increase in feed consumption is not considered of toxicological significance - Food efficiency:
- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:
- no effects observed
- Haematological findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were statistically significant decreases in 150 mg/m3 exposed females for hemoglobin concentration, mean copuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin and a statistically significant increase un absolute monocytes. HOWEVER, the absolute differences were minimal in the males and were not seen as statistically significant in the males.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A possible toxicologically meaningful decrease (statistically significant in males) in blood urea nitrogen was noted in the 150 mg/m3 exposed animals.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- A possible toxicologically meaningful difference unrine color was noted in the 150 mg/m3 exposed animals. Most of these animals were noteed with yellow urine compared to Acetone control animals which were mostly noted with straw colord urine.
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Signs of toxicity included irregular gait, decreased activity, lethargy, head bobbing and labored breathing.
- Immunological findings:
- not examined
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- no effects observed
- Description (incidence and severity):
- There were statistically significant increases in absolute kidney weight for the 150 mg/m3 exposed males and for absolute kidney weights for the V=150 mg/m3 exposed females. HOWEVER, the absolute differences were minimal, were not seen as statistically significant in the other sex and there were no microscopic findings associated.
- Gross pathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Neuropathological findings:
- no effects observed
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The only test-related microscopic finding was in the LARYNX at the level of the ventral seromucous glands.
This finding considered to be a non-specific direct local effect of the test substance.
Other findings in the larynx and in the other tissues and organs occurred with comparable incidence and severity in the Acetone and 150 mg/m3 groups or they occurred sporadically..
These incidental findings have been seen in the rats of this strain and age used in similar studies conducted in this facility. Squamous metaplasia is a common finding in the rat larynx since the area is very sensitive to insult and is usually an adaptive response and reversible - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
- no effects observed
