Mortality:
Mortality occurred on the exposure day or up to the first postexposure day.
All animals of the highest dose group died.
4 males of the 4000 mg/m³ group and 3 males of the 3000 mg/m³ group died.
Clinical signs:
other: 1000 mg/m³: All rats tolerated the exposure without specific signs. 2000, 3000, 4000 and 8000 mg/m³: Piloerection, ungroomed hair-coat, pallor, reduced motility, limp blepharospasm, bradypnea, labored and unregular breathing pattern, nostrils reddened, n
Gross pathology:
Animals sacrificed at the end of the observation period: In rats exposed to the test compound a conclusive, concentration-dependent increased incidence of macroscopic findings could not be ascertained. Therefore, the focal discolorations of organs observed in some groups are not considered to be causally related to the exposure to the test substance. Findings such as mild discoloration's of lung and other parenchymatous organs are often observed in control animals euthanized with pentobarbital. Therefore, the lung findings observed in rats of group 2 do not appear to exceed to spontaneously occurring incidence.

Animals that died intercurrentlv (most salient findings): Lungs: less collapsed, edematous, and hydrothorax.
