Clinical signs:
other: Signs of toxicity related to dose levels: - The surviving animals in the 0.05 mg/l dose group were thin in appearance and had a rough coat. - In the higher dose groups all animals had a laboured respiration and red nasal discharge - The animals in the l
Body weight:
The body weights of rats exposed to the lowest dose increased throughout the entire study. Effects on the body weight gain were observed at the next dose: body weights were decreased by 8% on day 8 compared to day 1 in male and female rats.
Gross pathology:
Effects on organs: The animals in the dose groups with 0.5 and 0.25 mg/l had a pale discoloration of the lungs.
One animal of the highest dose group had white contents in the left lung.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Treatment-related abnormal clinical signs were observed in all exposure groups, except the lowest dose group. All animals exposed to the lowest dose were clinically normal throughout the entire study period. These signs were thin appearance, rough coat, labored respiration, rales and red nasal discharge.
