- INHALATION EXPOSURE AND TEST ATMOSPHERE
Concentrated vapor inhalation consisted of subjecting animals to a flowing stream of vapor-ladened air prepared by various styles of proportioning pumps. The vapor-air mixture was generated by passing 2.5 Liters/minute of dried air at room temperature through a fritted glass disc immersed to a depth of at least one inch in approximately 50 mL of the test chemical contained in a gas-washing bottle. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

- Details on study design:
- INHALATION EXPOSURE TIMES
Rats were rapidly introduced by means of a drawer-type cage designed to minimize vapor loss. Inhalation of metered vapor concentrations were conducted were usually of four hours' duration unless slight toxicity enforces an eight-hour period (maximum period). For inhalation periods of ten, five and two minutes in duration, a static technique is used whereby 50 to 100 grams of material, spread over a shallow tray 200 square inches in area, is placed in a 120-Liter sealed chamber for at least 24 hours. This method was also employed for mixtures of liquids and for solids. Nominal concentrations were not analytically verified. They were in an essentially logarithmic series with a factor of two with a ratio of two extending from one-fourth to eight hours.
OBSERVATIONS
The period which permitted all rats to survive the two-week observation period was noticed. The concentration yielding fractional mortality was noticed. Where no fractional mortality was observed, usually both the concentration yielding no mortality and that yielding complete mortality were indicated. - Dose descriptor:

Additional information
Acute
toxicity: oral
In a single
dose study (Smyth et al., 1962), acute oral toxicity of
1-Ethinylcyclohexanol was estimated by oral gavage in 5 male
Carworth-Wistar rats per dose level using a logarithmic series of doses.
1-Ethinylcyclohexanol was diluted with a vehicle when necessary (to
bring the dose volume to 1 to 10 mL per rat). 14 days after dosing,
mortality was considered as complete. Oral administration of
1-Ethinylcyclohexanol to female rats resulted in a LD50 value of 600
mg/kg bw. This study is classified as acceptable (key study).
Additionally, in a reliable study published by U.S. EPA (1992) a LD50 value of 1150 mg/kg bw was listed. Furthermore, in a single dose study (BASF, 1952) a LD50 value >300 mg/kg bw was determined. Both studies are classified as acceptable (supporting studies).
Acute toxicity: inhalation
In an acute inhalation toxicity study based on a concentrated vapor inhalation method (Smyth et al., 1962), six albino rats were exposed to logarithmic series of vapor concentrations of 1-Ethynylcyclohexanol for periods up to 8 hours and observed for 14 days. An 8 hours exposure to a flowing stream of vapor-loadened air with the test substance resulted in no mortality. Thus, inhalation of a concentrated vapor of 1-Ethynylcyclohexanol did not pose an acute risk to animal’s health. This acute inhalation toxicity study is classified as acceptable (key study).
Acute toxicity: dermal
In an acute dermal toxicity study (Smyth et al., 1962), four male rabbits were exposed to 1-Ethynylcyclohexanol. The test material was applied in a single dose to the clipped skin of the entire trunk beneath an impervious plastic film. After 24 hour exposure the film was removed, and mortality was considered complete after 14 additional days of observation. Death occurred within the observation period. Limits of ±1.96 standard deviation using the method of Thompson were 0.68 – 1.48 mL/kg bw. The LD50 determined in this study was 1.0 mL/kg bw (corresponding to ~1000 mg/kg bw). This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirement for an acute dermal study according OECD 402 in principle (key study).

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the oral acute toxicity study, 1-Ethynylcyclohexanol is classified as Xn, R22 (harmful if swallowed) according to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and as Cat. 4, H302 (harmful if swallowed) according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Based on the results of the dermal acute toxicity study, 1-Ethynylcyclohexanol is classified as Xn, R21 (harmful in contact with skin) according to the criteria of EU Directive 67/548/EEC and as Cat. 3, H311 (toxic in contact with skin) according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
