Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
other: no data
Details on inhalation exposure:
The vapour was produced by enclosing approximately 100 g of the test substance in a sealed 100 to 151 L animal chamber for approximately 18 hours (static conditions). A mixing fan periodically aggitated the chamber atmosphere. Oxygen was added as required to maintain a chamber oxygen content of approximately 20%. If deaths occurred, exposure times were varied to determine an LT50.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
not specified
Duration of exposure:
ca. 6 h
Concentrations:
Saturated vapour
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Five
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Weights: day 0 (prior to exposure), day 7 and day 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology
Statistics:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
In a good quality (reliability score 2) acute inhalation toxicity study, not conducted to GLP, 3-trimethoxysilylpropane-1-thiol did not cause any deaths in Sprague-Dawley rats following a six hour exposure to a saturated vapour.
Executive summary:

In an acute inhalation study comparable to OECD test guideline 403, but not conducted to GLP, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposure to a saturated vapour of 3-trimethoxysilylpropane-1-thiol for six hours. They were then observed for 14 days. No deaths occurred and there was no effect on body weight gain. Fur slightly moist, periodic rubbing of head, eyes and nose during exposure. Recovery occurred within one hour of the end of exposure. There were no abnormal findings during the gross pathological examinations.
