- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Stainless steel exposure chamber
- Exposure chamber volume: 300 liter
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: No information
- Source and rate of air: 200 L/min
- Method of conditioning air:
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: A syringe drive fed the compound, at a known and constant rate, to the 500 ml vaporization flask. Compressed nitrogen was metered at a constant flow rate of 10 L/min past a quartz immersion heating element which raised the temperature, and was then fed to the vaporization flask. The vaporization flask was heated with a heating mantle. Preliminary experiments were conducted in order to define the flask temperature and nitrogen temperature necessary to completely vaporize the experimental compound when added at the highest expected rate.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Chamber air samples were drawn at a constant flow rate through 20 cmx 2.3 cm diameter fritted tubes packed with 4gr of chromosorb 102. The same sample flow rate was used (0.5 L/min). Duration of the sample was adjusted to collect an amount of sample estimated to be in the middle of the analytical standard curve. Three absorbers were run simultaneouly for each exposure, hexane was used for the elution of mmt, and the volume of hexane recovered was eluted in a volumetric flask. The spectrum of these hexane solution were then recorded from 2000/cm to 1900/cm against a hexane blank utilizing a Perkin-Elmer Model 267 infrared spectrophotometer fitted with matched 0.5 mm cells. The absorption band at 1935/cm was used for analytical purposes. Standards of mmt were prepared in hexane and a series runs performed prior to running chamber samples.

- Mortality:
- A dose-response relationship was observed. Mortality in rats exposed for 1 hour, the concentrations applied were higher than for the rats exposed for 4 hours to mmt.
For detailed information please refer to table 1 on the field 'Remarks on results including tables and figures'. - Clinical signs:
- other: A decrease in general activity, labored respiration (Dyspnea) and slight incidence of tissue inflamation around the eyes (conjunctivitis) were the clinical toxicity signs were observed. For the 1-hour exposures, dyspnea and a decrease in activity persis
- Body weight:
- On average, rats exposed to mmt vapours for 1-hour to concentrations between 0.108 and 0.264 mg/l, lost weight or did not gain body weight during the seven days post-exposure. By 14-days of post-exposure, these same rats regained and increased their body weight .
Rats exposed to mmt vapour for 4-hours at a concentration of 0.047 mg/L, showed some weight gain during the first seven days of the post-exposure period, and normal weight gain by 14-days post-exposure. Rats exposed to mmt vapours for 4-hours surviving concentrations between 0.054 and 0.087 mg/L, exhibited weight loss during the first 7 days, but resumed normal weight gain by 14-days post-exposure. - Gross pathology:
- Rats surviving 1-hour exposures to mmt vapours and sacrificed 14 days post-exposure exhibited a moderate incidence of focal areas of hemorrhage in the lungs while animals exposed for 4-hours showed only a slight incidence of these hemorrhagic foci. These were the only gross abnormalities observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Toxicity Category I
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Category 1 Acute inhalation toxicant: H330: ‘Fatal if inhaled’, per EC/1272/2008.
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results, the male rat LC50 based on a 1-hour exosure to mmt vapour was 0.247 mg/L (CL= 0.229 - 0.271 mg/L). the male rat LC50 based on a 4-hour mmt vapour exposire was determined to be 0.076 mg/L (Cl = 0.067 to 0.087 mg/L). For classification purposes, using the four hour exposure values, mmt would be classified as a Category 1 Acute inhalation toxicant: H330: ‘Fatal if inhaled’, per EC/1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
An acute inhalation toxicity study was performed in nine groups of ten male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were exposed via a whole body inhalation to mmt vapours. The groups consisted of 1-hour exposures to concentrations of 0.108, 0.221, 0.264 or 0.309 mg/L or 4-hour exposures to concentrations of 0.047, 0.054, 0.070, 0.087 or 0.100 mg/L. Animals were observed for 14-days post-exposure. Decreased activity and dyspnea persisted for a maximum of 4 days post-exposure in the 1-hour exposure for 1-hour, and for two days in the 4-hour exposure groups. Animals surviving 1-hour exposures to concentrations between 0.108 and 0.264 mg/L did not gain body weight during the first 7 days post-exposure, but resumed weight gain by 14 days post-exposure. Body weights were depressed in animals exposed for 4-hours to concentrations between 0.054 and 0.087 mg/L for the first seven days only. The only gross abnormality observed at necropsy in animals surviving the full 14 days was a moderate incidence of focal haemorrhagic areas in the lungs of rat exposed for 1-hour exposures and slight incidence in rats exposed 4-hours.
Based on the results, the 1-hour male rat LC50 for mmt vapours was determined to be 0.247 mg/L (Cl 0.229 - 0.271 mg/L), and the 4-hour male rat LC50 for mmt vapours was determined to be 0.076 mg/L (Cl = 0.067 to 0.087 mg/L).
