TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Winkelmann, Borchen, Germany
- Weight at study initiation: 170-190 g
- Housing: in Makrolon cages Type III

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
nose only
Vehicle:
other: ethanol/PEG 400
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: dynamic inhalation apparatus
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The dissolved test item was dynamically sprayed into the inhalation chamber as an aerosol
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Remarks:
The test item was sprayed along with oil red and adsorbed on cotton wool. From this, oil red was eluted quantitatively with xylene and recorded photometrically at 225 nm. The percentage of oil red/L air corresponded to the percentage of test material.
Duration of exposure:
1 h
Concentrations:
228, 447 or 949 mg/m³ air
No. of animals per sex per dose:
20 males
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
