- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: INA 20 head/nose inhalation system ( glass/steel construction, BASF AG);
- Exposure chamber volume: ca. 55 l
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: the animals sit in tubes and their snouts project into the inhalation chamber
- Source and rate of air: 1500 l/h of compressed air through the injector and 1500 l/h of conditioned air as dilution air
- Method of conditioning air: via a central airconditioning unit
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: the substance to be tested was transformed into a dust aerosol by means of a automatic vibrator, and was passed into the inhalation system
- Method of particle size determination: gravimetrically
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 19 - 25°C, 10% lower than that of the supply air system (excess pressure)
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The preweighed filter was placed in a filtration equipment. A volume of dust aerosol characterized by a flow-limiting nozzle was passed through the filter by means of a vacuum compressed air pump. The dust concentration (mg/l) was calculated from the difference between the preweight of the filter and the weight of the filter after sampling with reference to the sample volume.

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: body weights were checked before the start of the study, after 7 days and at the end of the observation period. The animals were checked for clinical signs on each working day. The lethality was checked daily.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight - Statistics:
- The statistical evaluation of the concentration response relationship was based on the binomial test (Wittig, H.: Mathematische Statistik 1974, (Mathematical Statistics), pages 32 to 35) according to the Tables issued by the BASF computer center.
The particle size determination was based on mathematical and graphical evaluation methods for particle measurements (Silverman, L .: Particle Size Analysis in Industrial Hygiene, 1971, pp. 235 - 259) and was carried out at the Department of Toxicology of BASF AG. - Sex:

Additional information
There are valid, guideline conform, in vivo data available for the assessment of the acute toxicity of the test substance.
Acute Oral toxicity
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was investigated in two groups of 3 male and 3 female rats according to EU B.1/OECD 401 guideline, given a limit dose of 2200 mg/kg bw as gavage. Clinical signs were discoloured feces for male and female rats and piloerection and smeared fur in the anogenital area in male animals. No mortality or gross pathological changes were reported.
In the second study the acute oral toxicity of the test substance was investigated according to OECD guideline 401 in two groups of 3 male and 3 female rats, given a limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw as gavage. Clinical signs were black feces for male and female rats. No mortality or gross pathological changes were reported.
Acute Inhalation toxicity
The acute dust inhalation toxicity of the test substance was investigated according to OECD 403 guideline in 5 male and 5 female rats. The test material was applied as dust (dust generator; dose determination: gravimetrically) via head/nose inhalation at a limit dose level of 5200 mg/m3 for 4 hours. Clinical signs during exposure were attempts to escape and irregular breathing. After exposure no deaths and no signs of toxicity were noted.
Acute Dermal toxicity
Appropriate data to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test article are not available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008), table 3.1.1, Acute toxicity hazard categories and acute toxicity estimates (ATE) defining the respective categories:
For Acute toxicity oral route:
Category 1: ATE <= 5 mg/kg bw
Category 2: 5 < ATE <= 50 mg/kg bw
Category 3: 50 < ATE <= 300 mg/kg bw
Category 4: 300 < ATE <= 2000 mg/kg bw
The LD50 of the test substance was determined to be ore than 2200 mg/kg bw in the chosen reference test, which is outside the above criteria. Therefore, the test substance is not classified for Acute toxicity by oral exposure.
For Acute toxicity inhalation route (dusts and mists, mg/l)
Category 1: ATE <= 0.05
Category 2: 0.05 < ATE <= 0.5
Category 3: 0.5 < ATE <= 1
Category 4: 1 < ATE <= 5
The LC50 of the test substance was determined to be more than 5.2 mg/l, therefore, the test substance is not classified for Acute toxicity by inhalation exposure.
