The 4575 mg/m³ aerosol was inhalable; the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was 6.51 µm with a geometric standard deviation of 2.30.

No mortalities occurred as well as no clinical signs, no changes in body weight development and no necropsy findings. Exposed male rats revealed a slight but significant decrease of body temperature.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity of N-Formylaminosorbit was investigated in male and female Wistar rats. The animals were nose-only exposed for 4 h to a maximum attainable mean solid aerosol concentration of 4575.0 mg/m³ (powder) air. The 4575 mg/m³ aerosol was inhalable; the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was 6.51 µm with a geometric standard deviation of 2.30.

No mortalities occurred as well as no clinical signs, no changes in body weight development and no necropsy findings. Exposed male rats revealed a slight but significant decrease of body temperature.

Therefore, the LC50 inhalation (aerosol, 4 h) is above 4575 mg/m³ whereas the NO(A)EL is below 4575 mg/m³.
