Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
not specified
Vehicle:
other: unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on inhalation exposure:
Test atmosphere was generated by pumping liquid C9-C11 cyclic aliphatic into stainless steel tubing using peristaltic pumps. The tubing was led through a water bath at 74 deg C and the resulting vapour was transported with an air stream from a compressed air source and added to the main airflow system. The test atmospheres were analysed by two total carbon analysers.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Remarks:
total carbon analysers
Duration of exposure:
8 h
Concentrations:
0 (air), 1 g/m3 (170ppm), 2.5 g/m3 (430ppm), 5 g/m3 (860ppm)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
8 animals per dose
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
Animals were exposed to the test atmosphere in modified H100 inhalation chambers Hazleton System Inc., USA). Each chamber was fitted with a manometer that allowed monitoring the slightly negative pressure inside. Three test groups (with one control) comprising of 8 rats each were exposed to Nappar 10 at different concentrations including: 0 (air), 1 g/m3 (170ppm), 2.5 g/m3 (430ppm), 5 g/m3 (860ppm). Animals were exposed to the test atmosphere 8hours/day for 3 consecutive days. All rats were checked for health and viability at least once daily. Body weight was recorded during randomization on days of testing.
Statistics:
All data were analyzed using the SAS statistical software package (v. 6.12). For each test measure, probability of p<= 0.05 were considered significant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Classification as an acute inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

C9 -C11 cyclic aliphatics were administered via individual inhalation chambers for eight hours to eight Sprague-Dawley rats at vapor concentration of 0 (air), 1 g/m3 (170ppm), 2.5 g/m3 (430ppm), 5 g/m3 (860ppm) for three consecutive days. There was no mortality noted in any of the animals.  Based on the conditions of this study, the LC50 for acute inhalation exposure to C9 -C11 cyclic aliphatics vapor is greater than the highest obtainable vapor concentration (5 g/m3).  Classification as an acute inhalation toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
