Doses / concentrationsopen allclose all
- Dose / conc.:
- 5 000 ppm
- Remarks:
- Group 2: Low dose. Equivalent to 23300 mg/m3.
- Dose / conc.:
- 15 000 ppm
- Remarks:

Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS:
- Time schedule: daily
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
- Time schedule: daily
BODY WEIGHT:

FOOD CONSUMPTION:
- Food consumption for per group determined and mean daily diet consumption was calculated as g food/kg body weight/day
FOOD EFFICIENCY:
- Body weight gain in kg/food consumption in kg per unit time X 100 was calculated as time-weighted averages from the consumption and body weight gain data
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION: yes
HAEMATOLOGY:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Exposure of rats to 5000, 15000 or 50000 ppm (23300, 69900, or 233000 mg/m3) test substance for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 64 or 65 exposure days over a 98 day period did not result in adverse effects in any of the exposure groups. In the present sub-chronic toxicity study, the high concentration level of 50000 ppm was therefore considered the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Concentration for male and female rats.
