Description of key information
The acute toxicity of the target substance Cerium doped Lutetium Yttrium Orthosilicate was assessed after exposure via the dermal and inhalation route. In both studies, conducted according to current OECD guidelines (OECD 402, 403), no mortality was observed. Thus, the LC50 after acute inhalation and LD50 after acute dermal exposure can considered to be greater than 5.19 mg/L and 2000 mg/kg bw.

- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure chamber: ADG Developments LTD (Nose-only Inhalation Chamber)
- Exposure chamber volume: 28 liter
- 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. The base unit terminates the chamber with a 0.5-inch diameter tube for discharged air.
- Air supply: Filtered generator air was supplied to the spray atomization nozzle by an air compressor (Powerex Air Compressor), and measured with a Mass Flow Controller (Omega Mass Flow Controller). Additional filtered mixing air from the same air compressor, measured with a Mass Flow Controller, was introduced into the chamber to help uniformly distribute the test atmosphere by creating a vortex at the chamber inlet. Chamber airflow (Aalborg Mass Flow Controller) was monitored throughout the exposure period and recorded periodically. The exposure was conducted under slight negative pressure.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test substance was aerosolized using a Jet-Mill. The test substance was delivered from the hopper using a variable speed motor and a 3/8- nch, closed pitch inch helix into the Jet-Mill. Compressed generator and mixing air were both supplied. The aerosolized dust was then fed directly into the chamber through the dust outlet assembly.
- 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. Samples were withdrawn from the breathing zone of the animals at two intervals.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. The mass median aerodynamic
diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) were calculated using two-cycle logarithmic probit axes.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: The temperature and relative humidity within the exposure chamber as well as the room were monitored continuously during exposure, and were measured with a temperature-humidity monitor. Temperature and relative humidity values were recorded every 15 minutes for the first hour of exposure and approximately every 15 or 30 minutes thereafter.
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 (Whatman™ GF/B) in a filter holder attached by 1/4 inch Tygon® tubing to a vacuum pump. 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. Sample airflows were measured using a Mass Flow Controller.

- yes
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:

Nominal chamber concentration: 19.22 mg/L - No. of animals per sex per dose:

- Frequency of observations: All animals were observed for mortality during the exposure period. The animals were examined for signs of gross toxicity and behavioural changes upon removal from the exposure tube and at least once daily thereafter for 14 days.
- Frequency of weighing: Individual body weights of the animals were recorded prior to test substance exposure and gain on days 1, 3, 7 and 14.

- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study conducted according to OECD 403, groups of young adult Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males/5 females) were exposed nose only to 5.19 mg/L Cerium doped Lutetium Yttrium Orthosilicate (100%) in clean air for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. Following exposure, all rats exhibited irregular respiration. However, all animals recovered by Day 1 and appeared active and healthy for the remainder of the 14-day observation period. No effects were observed during gross pathology and on the body weight development. Based on the results, the LC50 can be considered to be greater than 5.19 mg/L.

- Clinical signs:
- other: No specific clinical signs of toxicity were recorded.
- Gross pathology:
- With the exception of acute injection of blood vessels in the abdominal region, which is due to the euthanasia injection, no specific gross pathological changes were recorded for any animal.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, a single dermal application of the test item to rats at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with no mortality and neither signs of toxicity nor signs of skin irritation. Thus, the LD50 is considered to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted according to OECD 402, groups of young adult Wistar rats (5 male/5 female) were dermally exposed to Cerium doped Lutetium Yttrium Orthosilicate in water for 4 hours at dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred during the test period. Further, there were no treatment related clinical signs and necropsy findings. The slight weight loss might be secondary to the dressing and toxicological relevance of this finding cannot clearly be concluded. Based on the results, the LD50 can be considered to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
