Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 165-200 g
- Housing: individually in stainless steel metabolic cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): standard pellet diet (Hope Farms, Woerden, the Netherlands)
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libidum

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
other: intratracheal
Details on exposure:
The animals were anaesthesised during injection.
Doses:
20 ul solution or suspension of either sodium chromate (69 ug Cr), zinc chromate (66 ug Cr) or lead chromate (38 ug Cr) in saline containing 0.4-6.0 uCi 51Cr;

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Zinc chromate caused macroscopically visible haemorrhages and exudation of the lungs within 24 h after its administration, resulting in irregular and halting breathing. These symptoms disappeared on day 6.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Bragt and van Dura (1983) studied the kinetics of chromium in the rat after a single intratracheal dose of sodium, zinc or lead51Cr-chromate. The rats received a 20 μl solution or suspension of either sodium chromate (69 μg Cr), zinc chromate (66 μg Cr) or lead chromate (38 μg Cr). Intratracheal instillation of sparingly water-soluble zinc chromate produced irregular breathing and lung haemorrhage and oedema at 24 hours in male Wistar rats.
