Automatically generated during migration to IUCLID 6, no data available
Details on test material:
TBTU in the study is reported as 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate with the structural formula for this substance, which is not equal to the substance identity of CAS: 125700-67-6 (with the correct CAS name 1H-Benzotriazolium, 1-[bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-, 3-oxide, tetrafluoroborate(1-)) of this registration.

Test animals

Species:
human
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Six years of occupational exposure (since 1996), symptoms after 3 years of occupational exposure.

Test system

Route of induction exposure:
inhalation
Route of challenge exposure:
intranasal
Vehicle:
other:
Concentration:
1 mg/ml
No. of animals per dose:
10 control persons
Details on study design:
It is not quite clear whether PBS was used as vehicle for the nasal challenge test. The sensitized person was exposed to 1 mg TBTU/ml in the nasal challenge test.
Peak nasal inspiratory flow was measured.
Challenge controls:
10 persons served as control group

Results and discussion

Results:
A sensitized person was exposed to 1 mg TBTU/ml in a nasal chellenge test with 1 mg/ml.
Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) was measured. Reduction of 60% occured.
10 control persons had with the same challenge no reduction of PNIF.
Negative control results:
10 other persons

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
ambiguous
Executive summary:

A single case of occupational contact uticaria, rhinoconjunctivitis, wheezing and dyspnea was observed after three years of occupational exposure to TBTU.
