- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Nose Only Inhalation Chamber, ADG Developments LTD
- Exposure chamber volume: 28 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Animals were individually housed in polycarbonate holding tubes which seal to the chamber with an “O” ring during exposure.
- Source and rate of air: Approx. 60.0 liters per minute (Lpm) of filtered generator air was supplied by an air compressor (Powerex Model: SES050822).
- Method of conditioning air: Mass Flow Controller (Omega, Model # FMA-5527)
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test substance was aerosolized using a Jet-Mill (Fluid Energy Jet-Mill Serial #J2724E). Prior to aerosolization, the test substance was ground in a coffee mill (Cuisinart, Model #DCG-20N).
- Method of particle size determination: An eight-stage 1 ACFM Andersen Ambient Particle Sizing Sampler was used to assess the particle size distribution of the test atmosphere.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: The exposure chamber temperature and relative humidity range during exposure were 20ºC and 22-24%, respectively.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Gravimetric samples were withdrawn at 6 intervals from the breathing zone of the animals. Samples were collected using 37 mm glass fiber filters (WhatmanTM GF/B) in a filter holder attached by ¼ inch Tygon® tubing to a vacuum pump (GAST, Model #1531-107B-G557X). Filter papers were weighed before and after collection to determine the mass collected. This value was divided by the total volume of air sampled to determine the chamber concentration. The collections were carried out for 1 minute at airflows of 4.0 Lpm. Sample airflows were measured using a Mass Flow Controller (Aalborg, Model #GFC-17).
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: An eight-stage 1 ACFM Andersen Ambient Particle Sizing Sampler was used to assess the particle size distribution of the test atmosphere. Samples were withdrawn from the breathing zone of the animals at two intervals. The filter paper collection stages were weighed before and after sampling to determine the mass collected upon each stage.
- MMAD (Mass median aerodynamic diameter) / GSD (Geometric st. dev.): The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) were determined graphically using two-cycle logarithmic probit axes. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

Additional information
Acute Toxicity: via oral route
A reliable key acute oral toxicity study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted according to OECD test guideline 423 (acute toxic class method), but not in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2006, AOT). A first group of 3 female Wistar rats received the test item dissolved in water at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw via gastric intubation. All animals died on the first day post-dosing, two of them showing prostration and ataxia before death. Consequently, a second group consisting of 3 males and 3 females received the test item at a dose of 300 mg/kg bw. There was no mortality observed in any of the males or females treated in this dose group, and no signs of toxicity were noted in any of these animals throughout the study period. Body weight gain in animals dosed with 300 mg/kg bw was as expected. The LD50 is therefore concluded to be in the range of 300-2000 mg/kg bw for both males and females under the conditions of this test.
Acute Toxicity: via inhalation route
A reliable key acute inhalation toxicity study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted according to OECD test guideline 403, and in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2014, AIT). Ten healthy Sprague Dawley rats (5 per sex) were exposed to the test atmosphere for 4 hours via the inhalation (nose-only exposure) route. Chamber concentration and particle size distributions of the test substance were determined periodically during the exposure period. The gravimetric chamber concentration was 5.10 mg/L. The average mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was estimated to be 2.93 µm based on graphic analysis of the particle size distribution. The animals were observed for mortality, signs of gross toxicity, and behavioural changes at least once daily for 14 days following exposure or until death occurred. Body weights were recorded prior to exposure (initial)and again on Days 1, 3, 7, and 14 (terminal) or after death. Necropsies were performed on all animals. One male and three females died within seven days of exposure to the test atmosphere. Prior to death, the animals were hypoactive and exhibited abnormal respiration and/or ano-genital staining. Following exposure, all surviving animals were hypoactive and exhibited abnormal respiration. In addition, several survivors exhibited ano-genital staining, ocular discharge, facial staining, and/or nasal discharge. Although all animals lost weight through Day 3, the animals gained body weight during Days 7 to 14. However, two of the survivors did not surpass their initial body weights by the end of the 14-day observation period. Gross necropsy of the decedents revealed discoloration of the lungs, distention of the stomach, discoloration of the liver and/or distention of the intestines. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the surviving animals when necropsied at the conclusion of the 14-day observation period.
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the acute inhalation LC50 of the test substance is greater than 5.10 mg/L in male rats and less than 5.10 mg/L in female rats. The combined acute inhalation LC50 for both sexes is greater than 5.10 mg/L.
It can be concluded that the deaths are contributed to local corrosive effects to the respiratory tract rather than to systemic toxicity. None of the observations indicate systemic toxicity, but observations such as irregular breathing, rales, nasal discharge, ocular discharge, gasping, etc., as well as gross necropsy findings (red lungs) are commonly seen in animals suffering from local irritating/corrosive effects to the respiratory tract. Therefore, as local corrosive effects are generally not sex specific, using the combined LC50 for the human health hazard assessment is justified.
Acute Toxicity: via dermal route
A reliable key acute dermal toxicity study with Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is available, conducted in principle according to OECD test guideline 402 (standard acute method), but not in compliance with GLP (CBMM Europe BV, Key, 2006, ADT). A group of 5 Wistar rats per sex were applied the test item dissolved in water at a dose of 4000 mg/kg bw on the dorsal area of the trunk. The treated area covered approximately 10% of the total body surface. The test site was not covered following treatment, but the animals were housed individually in small boxes, in order to hinder any movement of animals and to keep the product in contact with the animals’ skin and avoid ingestion or inhalation. 24 h post-dosing, the test item was removed and the animals were observed for the following 14 days. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were noted in any of the animals throughout the study period. There were no effects of toxicological relevance noted on body weight gain. The LD50 was concluded to be > 4000 mg/kg bw for both males and females under the conditions of this test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data are reliable and suitable for classification. Based on these data, Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate meets the criteria to be classified for acute oral toxicity (Cat 4, H302) according to EC/1272/2008. Furthermore, based on expert judgement a labelling as STOT SE Cat 3 (H335) is warranted, because of the severe local effects in the respiratory tract of the animals which led to mortality in the acute inhalation toxicity study in combination with the facts that Reaction mass of ammonium diaqua[bis(oxalate)]oxoniobate(1-) hydrate and ammonium hydrogen oxalate oxalic acid (1:1:1) dihydrate is corrosive to eyes (mucous membranes) and the pH in aqueous solution is 0.4.
