Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity following oral administration in Wistar rats in a study performed similar to OECD 401 guideline (GLP not specified).

Single doses of 5,000 mg/kg body weight of the test material preparations in aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (5%) were given to 5 male and 5 female fasted rats by gavage. One day after substance administration, 1 male and 1 female rat died. The dead animals showed gross pathology findings at the heart (acute dilatation of the prechambers, acute congestive hyperanemia), stomach (vascular injection) and intestine (atonic). In animals surviving the observation period of 14 days gross pathology findings at the stomach were investigated and included gastroesophageal vestibule thickened, sporadic agglutination of the gastroesophageal vestibule with the peritoneum. Clinical signs observed throughout the study were dyspnoe, apathy, staggering, scrubby fur, salivation and bad general condition. The mean body weights of the administration groups increased throughout the study period.

Under the conditions of this study, the median lethal dose of the test item after oral administration was found to be greater than 5,000 mg/kg body weight in rats.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the substance was not irritating to the skin under the tested conditions. However, mild skin effects were observed.
Executive summary:

The present skin irritation study was performed similar to OECD guideline 404 (GLP not specified, reliability 2) with two Vienna White rabbits (f/m). The animals were treated for 4 h with the undiluted test substance under occlusive conditions and the skin reactions were observed for a period of 8 days. Mild skin effects were seen after exposure. The value for edema formation was 1 over all animals tested and 1 for individual animals. The value for erythema formation was 1.5 over all animals tested and 2 in the first animal and 1 in the second animal. In one animal, erythema formation was not fully reversible at the end of the observation period on day 8.

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF-Test
The inhalation hazard test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapors of the volatile components of a test substance at the temperature chosen for vapor generation (usually 20°C). Groups of rats were sequentially exposed to the vapors, generated by bubbling 200 l/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted disc in a glass cylinder for different time periods.
No analytical determination of the atmosphere concentrations was performed. The nominal concentration usually can be calculated as quotient of the amount of the test substance weight loss during exposure. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 14 day study period. Body weight of groups was determined before the start of the study and at the end of the observation period in surviving animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
All 12 animals survived the inhalation risk test, where the animals were exposed to a saturated vapor of the test substance (concentration ca. 0.00045 mg/l) for 7 hours.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation toxicity was investigated in an Inhalation Risk test with rats (reliability 2). The test was performed in principle as described in OECD test guideline 403 (GLP not specified). 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, 6 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 7 hours. No analytical determination of the atmosphere concentrations was performed. The nominal concentration was calculated as 0.000545 mg/l based on the vapor pressure. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over a 14 day study period. All animals survided inhalative exposure and showed no gross pathology findings. Clinical symptoms soley included wiping of the snout throughout expsoure.

Based on the study findings no acute inhalation toxicity can be concluded for animals expsosed to a saturated vapor of the test item.
