Executive summary:

The test item, n-heptanol-1 was exposed by inhalatation to 10 males and 10 females rats at the maximum saturated concentration via asingle whole body inhlation exposure during 4 hours. Animals were submitted to a 2 week observation period.

No mortality was recorded in any animal. No signs of narcosis were observed nor abnormal behaviour. The histopathological examination of the sample organs (brain, lung, heart, liver, pancreas, bladder, kidneys, ovaries and testes) has revealed no treatement related changes. At the maximum vapour saturated concentration, no mortality was recorded after a single exposure during 4 hours. The LC0 was estimated at 7.4 mg/m3.
