Description of key information
Reproductive Toxicity Study:
An inhalation study was performed to assess the effects of the test chemical on the reproductive and developmental toxicity on the test animals. In this study, 2 groups of 8–15 female rats were exposed to a concentration of 302 ml/m3 of the test chemical (450 mg/m3 ) for one hour. One group was exposed 12 days before and the other group 9 days after gestation. Both groups demonstrated symptoms of haemorrhagic oedema in the lungs, severe dyspnoe and cyanosis. One-third of the animals died. Fetal mortality was significantly increased in the group of rats which had been exposed during gestation. Among the progeny of dams which had been exposed 12 days prior to gestation, body weight gain was significantly reduced until the pups were 4 weeks old, while in the male progeny of dams exposed to hydrogen chloride, functional disorders of lungs, kidneys and livers were seen in both exposure groups.

Reproductive Toxicity Study 3:
An inhalation toxicity study was conducted on the CF-1 mice, to assess and evaluate the effects on the developmental parameters of the fetuses born to the maternal animals exposed to the test chemicals. In this study, time-mated maternal animals were exposed to the test chemical in the concentration of 0, 5, 20 mg/m3 during day 6 to 15 of gestation. The animals were exposed 7hours/day to the test chemical. In maternal parameters, mean implants/dams, resorption/litter, Live fetuses were observed. Also, viability of the fetuses were observed. After all the observations, it was seen that there was no significant effects on mean numbers of implants/dam, live fetuses/litter or resorptions/litter were observed in mice. Also, there were no difference in the viability of the pups when compared to the control group. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the maternal animals was 20 mg/m3 and the NOEL for the test chemical for fetal parameters was 20 mg/m3.

One group was exposed 12 days before and the other group 9 days after gestation. Both groups demonstrated symptoms of haemorrhagic oedema in the lungs, severe dyspnoe and cyanosis. One-third of the animals died. On the 5th day after exposure the blood (mixed) oxygen saturation was lowered in treated pregnant rats as comp[ared to the control group. An increase in the concentration of chlorides in the urine of the pregnant rats and also in the protein concentration in the urine as compared to the control group was observed. The relative weights of the organs in the experimental pregnant animals were indistinguishable from those of the controls. Injury to maternal organs, especially the endocrine glands, heart, and liver, during pregnancy was observed after exposure to the test chemical. The lungs of the dying rats were congested, with areas of edema and hemorrhage. Lung function was disturbed in the surviving females. Kidney function was disturbed in treated pregnant animals as compared to the control group. Changes in liver function were found in the pregnant animals. Fetal mortality was significantly increased in the group of rats which had been exposed during gestation. Among the progeny of dams which had been exposed 12 days prior to gestation, body weight gain was significantly reduced until the pups were 4 weeks old, while in the male progeny of dams exposed to hydrogen chloride, functional disorders of lungs, kidneys and livers were seen in both exposure groups. Thus, Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical shows adverse effects on the test animals and the LOAEL for the test chemical was found to be 450 mg/m3.

Developmental Toxicity Studies:
The summaries of the developmental toxicity study are as follows:
Developmental Toxicity Study 2:
An inhalation study was performed to assess the effects of the test chemical on the reproductive and developmental toxicity on the test animals. In this study, 2 groups of 8–15 female rats were exposed to a concentration of 302 ml/m3 of the test chemical (450 mg/m3 ) for one hour. One group was exposed 12 days before and the other group 9 days after gestation. Both groups demonstrated symptoms of haemorrhagic oedema in the lungs, severe dyspnoe and cyanosis. One-third of the animals died. On the 5th day after exposure the blood (mixed) oxygen saturation was lowered in treated pregnant rats as comp[ared to the control group. An increase in the concentration of chlorides in the urine of the pregnant rats and also in the protein concentration in the urine as compared to the control group was observed. The relative weights of the organs in the experimental pregnant animals were indistinguishable from those of the controls. Injury to maternal organs, especially the endocrine glands, heart, and liver, during pregnancy was observed after exposure to the test chemical. The lungs of the dying rats were congested, with areas of edema and hemorrhage. Lung function was disturbed in the surviving females. Kidney function was disturbed in treated pregnant animals as compared to the control group. Changes in liver function were found in the pregnant animals. Fetal mortality was significantly increased in the group of rats which had been exposed during gestation. Among the progeny of dams which had been exposed 12 days prior to gestation, body weight gain was significantly reduced until the pups were 4 weeks old, while in the male progeny of dams exposed to hydrogen chloride, functional disorders of lungs, kidneys and livers were seen in both exposure groups. Thus, Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical shows adverse effects on the test animals and the LOAEL for the test chemical was found to be 450 mg/m3.
Developmental Toxicity Study 3:
An inhalation toxicity study was conducted on the CF-1 mice, to assess and evaluate the effects on the developmental parameters of the fetuses born to the maternal animals exposed to the test chemicals. In this study, time-mated maternal animals were exposed to the test chemical in the concentration of 0, 5, 20 mg/m3 during day 6 to 15 of gestation. The animals were exposed 7hours/day to the test chemical. In maternal parameters, mean implants/dams, resorption/litter, Live fetuses were observed. Also, viability of the fetuses were observed. After all the observations, it was seen that there was no significant effects on mean numbers of implants/dam, live fetuses/litter or resorptions/litter were observed in mice. Also, there were no difference in the viability of the pups when compared to the control group. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the maternal animals was 20 mg/m3 and the NOEL for the test chemical for fetal parameters was 20 mg/m3.

The summaries of the developmental toxicity study are as follows:
Developmental Toxicity Study 2:
An inhalation study was performed to assess the effects of the test chemical on the reproductive and developmental toxicity on the test animals. In this study, 2 groups of 8–15 female rats were exposed to a concentration of 302 ml/m3 of the test chemical (450 mg/m3 ) for one hour. One group was exposed 12 days before and the other group 9 days after gestation. Both groups demonstrated symptoms of haemorrhagic oedema in the lungs, severe dyspnoe and cyanosis. One-third of the animals died. On the 5th day after exposure the blood (mixed) oxygen saturation was lowered in treated pregnant rats as comp[ared to the control group. An increase in the concentration of chlorides in the urine of the pregnant rats and also in the protein concentration in the urine as compared to the control group was observed. The relative weights of the organs in the experimental pregnant animals were indistinguishable from those of the controls. Injury to maternal organs, especially the endocrine glands, heart, and liver, during pregnancy was observed after exposure to the test chemical. The lungs of the dying rats were congested, with areas of edema and hemorrhage. Lung function was disturbed in the surviving females. Kidney function was disturbed in treated pregnant animals as compared to the control group. Changes in liver function were found in the pregnant animals. Fetal mortality was significantly increased in the group of rats which had been exposed during gestation. Among the progeny of dams which had been exposed 12 days prior to gestation, body weight gain was significantly reduced until the pups were 4 weeks old, while in the male progeny of dams exposed to hydrogen chloride, functional disorders of lungs, kidneys and livers were seen in both exposure groups. Thus, Based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the test chemical shows adverse effects on the test animals and the LOAEL for the test chemical was found to be 450 mg/m3.
Developmental Toxicity Study 3:
An inhalation toxicity study was conducted on the CF-1 mice, to assess and evaluate the effects on the developmental parameters of the fetuses born to the maternal animals exposed to the test chemicals. In this study, time-mated maternal animals were exposed to the test chemical in the concentration of 0, 5, 20 mg/m3 during day 6 to 15 of gestation. The animals were exposed 7hours/day to the test chemical. In maternal parameters, mean implants/dams, resorption/litter, Live fetuses were observed. Also, viability of the fetuses were observed. After all the observations, it was seen that there was no significant effects on mean numbers of implants/dam, live fetuses/litter or resorptions/litter were observed in mice. Also, there were no difference in the viability of the pups when compared to the control group. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the NOAEL for the maternal animals was 20 mg/m3 and the NOEL for the test chemical for fetal parameters was 20 mg/m3.
Justification for classification or non-classification
From all the above data, it is observed that the exposure of the test chemical to the experimental animals was multiple times more than the normal exposure to human population. Also, the normal route of exposure of the test chemical is niether through the inhalation, dermal and oral route. Thus, based on the information, the test chemical cannot be classified as a reproductive and developmental toxicant according to CLP regulation.
