Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

The exact name of the rat strain is Crl:HanWist(GlxBRL)BR
The rats were acclimatized for about 5 days in an animal room with 12-hour dark/light cycle, 21 - 23°C, and a rel. humidity of 55 - 65%.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

inhalation: dust

Type of inhalation exposure:

head only

Vehicle:

other: unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on inhalation exposure:

4-hour inhalation , followed by a 14-day observation period.
Temperature in the exposure chamber was 17 - 24°C with a rel. humidity of 20 - 65% for control and treated groups.Air flow was 12 litre/min for all groups, oxigen concentration was 19.5 - 21.4 %

Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

yes

Duration of exposure:

ca. 4 h

Concentrations:

Nominal: 2.80 mg/L ; measured 1.14 mg/L (group 1)
Nominal: 4.62 mg/L; measured 2.76 mg/L (group 2)
Nominal: 8.16 mg/L; measured: 5.04 mg/L (group 3)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

group 1: 0 males / 5 females
group 2: 0 males / 5 females
group 3: 5 males / 5 females

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

none

Effect levels

Effect levels 1

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect level:

ca. 1.14 mg/L air (analytical)

Exp. duration:

4 h

Effect levels 2

Sex:

male

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect level:

ca. 5.04 mg/L air (analytical)

Exp. duration:

4 h

Mortality:

Group 1: 1/5 females (day 1)
Group 2: 5/5 femlaes (1 on day 1, 3 on day 2, 1 on day 5)
Group 3: 3/5 females (all on day 3) and 1/5 males (day 7)

Clinical signs:

other: Coldness , gasping , paleness, piloerection, hunched posture, prostration, noisy respiration, nasal discharge, lethargy, tremors, vocalisation, and semi-closed eyes were observed among all dose groups.

Body weight:

Treated rats lost more weight during the day of exposure than the control rats, but by the end of the observation period all gained similar weight as controls except high dose group animals

Gross pathology:

Lung weights of dead or in extremis killed animals were heavier than those of the controls, but the lungs of surviving rats were comparable to those of the control group.

Other findings:

Apart from discoloration of the lungs and distention of parts of the intestinal tract, no substance -related findings were recorded.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The four - hour acute median lethal dose for female rats was calculated (probit method) to be 1.83 mg/l air.

For Male rats no such value was calculated , but as 2/5 males died at 5.04 mg/L air. The LC 50 is approximately 5 - 6 mg/L

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

moderately toxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The LC50 of female rats (most sensitive sex) is calculated to be 1.83 mg/L.
The LC50 of male rats is approximately 5-6 mg/L, as only a dose of 5.04 mg/L was tested with 2/5 male rats showing lethal effects

Executive summary:

The LC50 of femlae rats (most sensitive sex) is calculated to be 1.83 mg/L. The LC50 of male rats is approximately 5-6 mg/L, as only a dose of 5.04 mg/L was tested with 2/5 male rats dying upon inhalation of TEPIC-SP with a median aerodynamic diameter of 1.70 - 2.06 micrometers.
