Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Crj: CD(SD)
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Weight at study initiation: 210-275 g for both sexes.
No. of animals per sex per dose: 5 per sex per dose group

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
Inhalation Chamber: A 0.5m3 stainless steel inhalation chamber was used. (Youg and Bertke, Cincinnati, Ohio). The test compound atmosphere was generated directly into the chamber by means of Jet Nebulizer Mechanism. Chamber concentrations were monitored by a filter paper/gravimetric technique approximately every 30 min during the exposure period.

The HEPA filtered chamber air-flow was maintained between 10 to 20 air changes per hour during the exposure period with the chamber under slightly negative pressure. The temperature in the chamber was maintained at 69-75 degree F with relative humidity of 30-50%
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
2600 mg/m3
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 per sex
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:


Clinical observations performed and frequency: After the exposure, all animals were observed daily for 14 days for clinical signs of toxicity. Body weights were recorded prior to exposure and weekly thereafter. All animals were subjected to necropsy at termination of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LC50 was determined to be > 2600 mg/m3 in male and female rats.

Classification as an inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

The LC50 was determined to be > 2600 mg/m3 in male and female rats.

Classification as an inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/548/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
