- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
The substance was aerolised using Wright's Dust Feed System (TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany; Serial Numbers: 040804-60) located at the top of the exposure chamber. Animals were exposed nose-only to an atmosphere of the test substance using a TSE Rodent Exposure system (TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany). It comprises of two concentric anodised aluminium chambers and a computer control system with pressure detectors and mass flow controllers. Fresh aerosols were constantly generated and supplied to the distribution chamber from where it was distributed to the exposure ports. Animals were held in polycarbonate restraint tubes which allowed only the animal's nostrils to enter the exposure port. After passing through the animal's breathing zone, used aerosols entered the outer cylinder from where it was exhausted through a suitable filter system. The flow of air through each port was at least 0.5 L/minute.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
The test atmosphere was sampled at regular intervals during the exposure period. Samples were taken from an unoccupied exposure port to represent the animal's breathing zone. A suitable known volume of test atmosphere was pulled through weighed glass fibre filters (Type GF10, Whatman GmbH, GE Healtcare UK Limited, Lot Numbers: A29518736). The difference in the pre- and post-sampling weights, divided by the volume of atmosphere sampled, was equal to the achieved test atmosphere concentration.
VEHICLE
No vehicle was used and the test substance was used as received.
PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The particle size distribution of the test atmosphere was determined three times during the exposure period using a 7-stage impactor (TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany). The collection substrates and the backup filter were weighed before and after sampling and the weight of test item, collected at each stage, calculated by this difference. The total amount collected for each stage was used to determine the cumulative amount below each cut-off point size. In this way, the proportion (%) of aerosol less than 0.550, 0.960, 1.550, 2.105, 3.555, 6.655 and 10.550 μm was calculated. From these data, using software supplied with the impactor (TSE Systems GmbH, Bad Homburg, Germany), the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD), and Geometric Standard Deviation (GSD) were calculated.
OTHER CONDITIONS
The measured air flow into the equipment (inner plenum) was 15.5 to 30.8 L/minute. The air flow out of the equipment was 30.4 to 30.9 L/minute. The temperature in the chamber was 22.8 to 23.9 °C, and the relative humidity was 20.4 to 22.9%. The chamber volume of the inner plenum was 3.85 L. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:

One male animal in preliminary study was euthanised on day 5 due to animal welfare reasons. This animal showed laboured, noisy respiration, distended abdomen, gasping respiration, piloerection, fur staining and red-brown staining around the eyes and the nose. The surviving male animal had similar symptoms, which disappeared on day 4 of the observation period. The female animals also had laboured, noisy respiration, sneezing, fur staining, red-brown staining on the head, wet fur and hunched back. These symptoms disappeared on day 8 of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
The acute inhalation toxicity of the substance was studied under GLP to OECD TG 403 (fixed dose) as a limit test using the highest achievable concentration. The test substance administered as supplied. A sighting study was performed with 2 male and 2 female rats to estimate the inhalation toxicity of the test substance, identify sex differences in susceptibility and assist in selecting exposure concentrations for the main study. Based on the sighting study, a main test was performed with 10 (5 males and 5 females) Crl:WI Wistar rats as a limit test. The animals were exposed to aerosols generated with a suitable dust feed system for 4 hours using a suitable nose-only exposure system, followed by a 14-day observation period. Aerosol concentrations were measured gravimetrically. The particle size distribution of the test aerosol was determined regularly during the exposure period. The achieved mean concentration in the main study was 2.53 mg/L, and the MMAD was 3.52 µm (GSD of 2.38). In the main study, one male was killed on day 8 of the experiment due to animal welfare reason, and a second male was found dead on day 10. All other test animals survived until the end of the 14-day observation period. Animals showed laboured, gasping and noisy respiration, sneezing, wet fur, fur staining on the head, around the nose and the eyes, piloerection or distended abdomen. The surviving males were smptom free from day 7, and the females from day 9 of the observation period. Slight to moderate body weight loss was noticed in treated males until day 3 of the observation period. Body weight gain was normal on days 3 to 14 in surviving males. Slight to moderate body weight loss was also observed in females in the main study until day 3. The body weight gain was normal on days 3 to 14 in the female rats. In the preterminal euthanised male animal, diffuse, pale discoloration of all lobes of lungs and soft, diffuse, of the right cranial, caudal and middle lobes were observed. Moreover, dilatation with gas of cecum, colon, duodenum, ileum, jejunum and stomach was recorded, as well as small bilateral coagulation gland, epididymis and seminal vesicles. Small spleen, prostate and thymus were observed. The focal, glandular region of stomach was thin. In the found dead animal dark red discoloration of all lobes of collapsed lungs were observed. Moreover, dilatation with gas of cecum, colon, duodenum, ileum, jejunum, rectum and stomach were recorded. Small bilateral testis, coagulation gland, epididymis and seminal vesicles, small spleen and small prostate were observed. In the surviving animals, no macroscopic observations were seen on necropsy Day 14. Based on the results and the number of two dead animals out of ten rats treated at a mean concentration of 2.53 mg/L for a period of 4 hours by inhalation exposure nose-only, the LC50 value was considered to be >2.53 mg/L.
