Toxicological information

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: inhalation
Type of information:
other:
Remarks:
Supporting evidence for corrosive effects of trichlorosilanes following inhalation
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
No data
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline, with acceptable restrictions. The restrictions were that the control was HCl rather than air, and there was only one low concentration tested.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a two-week repeated dose inhalation toxicity study, which was comparable to OECD 412, and conducted to GLP, the NOAEC was greater than the single concentration of 12 ppm trichloro(methyl)silane that was tested.
Executive summary:

In a two-week repeated dose inhalation toxicity study, which was comparable to OECD 412, and conducted to GLP, the NOAEC was greater than the single concentration of 12 ppm trichloro(methyl)silane that was tested.
