- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: 20 l PVC-cylinder situated in an exhaustor
- Exposure chamber volume: 9.5 m³
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: During the study single rats were kept in cylindrical plastic cages.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols:
Sunett was inserted into a silica tube of 1000 mm length and 40 mm diameteron a sample tray of 400 mm length and 1.7 mm width. A ring oven of 100 mm length around the silica tube can be moved along the tube with a constant rate of 10 mm/min and adjusted to a defined temperature. The ring oven was moved over the sample tray once per test, corresponding to aduration of 30 min per test. The ocurring the products of pyrolyses were transported into the inhalation cylinder by a stream of air of 100 l/h (primary air) blown into the inhalationcylinder. Simultaneously a second stream of air of 200 l/h (secondary air) was added before the inhalation cylinder, but after the silica tube. An exhausting equipment placed on the bottom of the inhalation chamber removespotentially formed products of pyrolysis through two absorption bottles filledwas water, one absorption flask filled with calcium chloride and a Buehler filterwith 300 l/h.
The test was carried out at 250°C according to DIN (German Industrial Standard) 53436. The temperature was tested prior to each test with a standard block. Thesamples were weighed before and after the test and difference was determined

Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- other: Mortality
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Remarks on result:
- other: The effect of exposure of potential pyrolsis products were investigated
- Mortality:
- No mortality in males and females.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Signs of intoxication were irregular and intermittent respiration, nasal dischargeand crouched position. One day after exposition all animals were free from clinical symptoms.
- Body weight:
- No effect.
- Gross pathology:
- Dissection of the animals killed at the end of the observation period did notshow macroscopically visible changes.
- Other findings:
- The investigation of CO hemoglobin did not show increased CO-Hb values immediately after exposure.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- practically nontoxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Inhalation exposure to Acesulfam potassium or possible pyrolises products investigated at a temperature of 250° C did not cause mortality or any sign of systemic toxicity.
- Executive summary:
Acesulfame potassium was investigated at a temperature of 250°C in a study of the inhalation toxicity of thermal degradation products. All test animals survived. Symptoms of intoxication were disturbance of respiration, of autonome reactionsand of body position. The investigation of CO hemoglobin did not show increased CO-Hb values immediately after exposure. Pathological examination of the animals killed immediately after the study did not show any abnormal signs.
