Details on study design:
Concentrated vapour was generated in a gas washing bottle by passing died air at 2.5 L/min through a fritted glass disc immersed to a depth of at least 1-1/2 inches in the chemical which was delivered to rats in a 9L glass exposure chamber. Mean vapour concentration was calculated from the loss in weight of the liquid or estimated from the vapour pressure at the actual temperature of the chemical during aeration.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
The saturated vapour, dynamically generated at 23 degree C is calculated to be equivalent to 4600 ppm.
Basis for the calculation was the vapour pressure of 4.66 hPa at 22.9 degree C as described in IUCLID section 4.
Based on a conversion factor for the vaporized test substance published by GESTIS* (1 ppm = 1 mL/m3 = 3.08 mg/m3), the inhaled concentration is calculated to be 14165 mg/m3.
