Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Based on H.F. Smyth et al. (1962), Am. lnd. Hyg. Ass. J. 23, 95-107.
The test was performed in principle as described in OECD test guideline 403. It demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapors of the volatile components of a test substance at 20 °C. Young adult laboratory rats, 3 per sex, were exposed sequentially to the vapors generated by bubbling 200 L/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder for 8 h.
GLP compliance:
no
