Survivors at both dose levels showed a marked reduction in bodyweight gain throughout the fourteen day observation period, and two rats at 34.2 mg/kg bw showed pilar erection to days 12 and 14 respectively.

- Survivors at 20.0 mg/kg bw and 34.2 mg/kg bw showed evidence of anorexia, that is significantly reduced bodyweight gain. Gross necropsy of survivors (one male and one female from each group)revaled no abnormal macroscopic lesions.

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- The product was filled to a height of 5 cm in a glass bottle (fritted glass flask, pore-size 90 - 150 um, diameter 30 mm), and the weight was determined.
A stream of 200 L/h compressed air was supplied to the fritted glass flask containing the product, which had been placed in a water bath maintained at 20°C by a thermostat. The mixture of air and test substance generated in this way was passed through a glass distributor to 6 glass tubes in which 3 male and 3 female animals had been placed. The emerging mixtures of test substance and air were exhausted.
The test substance template was used for the whole study period (30 and 10 minutes).
Suitable measures were applied to ensure that the air supply had the same temperature as in the laboratories, so that the temperature in the exposure apparatus was between 19 and 25°C.
The exposure time was 10 and 30 minutes. The intention was to determine the exposure time which was survived by all the animals, including an observation period lasting 18 days.
The amount of test substance used was determined by reweighing the fritted glass flasks. The nominal concentration was calculated from the amount of test substance consumed and the air volume. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- no
- Duration of exposure:
- 10 - 30 min
- Concentrations:
- The mean concentration of the test substance (calculated for a study duration of 10 min) was 90.01 mg/L.

- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 18 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
In the key study, the test item was tested in 5 male and 5 female Sprague Dawley rats in dose of 11.69, 20, 34.2, 58.5, 100 mg/kg bw. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the rat, was found to be 26.15 (20.41 - 33.51) mg/kg.
In the supporting study, the test item was tested in 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats about 14 day obersevation period in dose of 178, 261, 383, 562 and 825 mg/kg bw.The test item revealed an oral LD50 of 329 mg/kg bw in male/female rats, an oral LD50 of 383 mg/kg bw in male rats and LD50 of 289 mg/kg bw.
Acute inhalation study:
In the key study, the test item was tested in 5 animals according to OECD guideline no. 403. The concentrations were 2.5 and 7.7 mg/L. The LC50 in an acute inhalation study was 7.7 mg/L.
In the supporting study, the test item was tested in groups of 3 Wistar rats in no standard test system (the exposition time: 10 min, 30 min). The LC0 (30 min) and the LC50 were smaller than 90.01 mg/L The LC0 (10 min) and the LC 50 (10 min) were greater than 90.01 mg/L.
