Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
not specified
Vehicle:
other: unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on inhalation exposure:
This test was in principle performed as described in OECD Guideline 403.

- Temperature chosen for vapour generation: 20°C.

GENERAL PROCEDURE
Two groups of 3 rats per sex were exposed sequentially to the vapours by bubbling 200 l/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder for different time periods (e.g. 3 min, 10 min, 1 h, 3 h, 7 h or 8 h). The exposure time not causing lethality was usually tested twice.
No analytical determination of the atmosphere concentration was performed. The nominal concentration can be calculated as quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss during the exposure (given in the raw data) and the amount of air used during exposure.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
8 h
Concentrations:
21.5 mg/l (atmosphere saturated with vapour)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
totally 12 rats (6 males, 6 females)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Groupwise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 7-day observation period. Body weight of groups was determined before the start of exposure and at the end of the observation period in surviving animals.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LCLo
Effect level:
> 21.5 mg/L air (nominal)
Exp. duration:
8 h
Remarks on result:
other: No deaths at saturated vapour concentration.
Mortality:
All animals survived until the end of the 7-day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: Irritation of the mucosa and dyspnea was observed during exposure. After termination of exposure, imbalance and, for one animal, narcosis was noted. The animals were normal at one day after exposure.
Gross pathology:
Chronic bronchitis was reported for two animals. No pathological findings were observed in the remaining 10 animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
No mortality was observed when 12 rats were exposed for 8 hours to an  atmosphere that had been saturated at 20°C with the volatile parts of the  compound. The concentration of the test substance was 21.5 mg/l (nominal).
