- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
The whole-body exposure chambers each had a volume of approximately 1000 L. The chambers were operated at a minimum flow rate of 200 L/minute. The final airflow was set to provide at least one air change in 5.0 minutes (12 air changes/hour) and a T99 equilibrium time of at most 23 minutes At the end of the 6-hour exposure, all animals remained in the chambers for a minimum of 30 minutes. During this time, the chambers were operated at approximately the same flow rate using clean air only. The chambers were exhausted through the in housed filtering system, which consisted of a coarse filter, a HEPA filter and activated charcoal.
For the treated groups, the test article was delivered from the cylinder via a regulator with a backpressure gauge via 1/4" tubing through a flowmeter via 1/4" tubing. The outlet of the flowmeter was regulated by a built-in metering valve. The test article laden airstream was directed into the turret of a 1.0 m3 glass and stainless steel exposure chamber via 1/4" tubing, where it was diluted with room air as it was drawn into the chamber. For controls, room air was drawn into the turret of the 1.0 m3 glass and stainless steel exposure chamber.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
During each exposure, measurements of airborne concentrations were performed in the animals' breathing zone at least 4 times using an appropriate sampling procedure and on-line GC analytical method. During each week of exposure, particle size determinations were performed using a TSI Aerodynamic Particle Sizer to characterize the aerodynamic particle size distribution of any aerosol present. - Details on mating procedure:
- - M/F ratio per cage: 1 male and 1 female
- Length of cohabitation: until evidence of mating seen or for 2 weeks
- Proof of pregnancy: vaginal plug / sperm in vaginal smear referred to as day 0 of pregnancy
- After successful mating each pregnant female was caged Individually - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- yes
- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The mean (± standard deviation) analytical (GC) concentrations for the control and the exposure groups were as follows: 0 ± 0, 524 ± 40, 2062 ± 126 and 8271 ± 683 ppm. The analytically measured exposure levels of the airborne test article were reasonably close to the targeted exposure levels.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Two weeks prior to breeding, during breeding, and continuing through day 19 of gestation. The dams were then allowed to deliver their litters, which were retained until lactation day 4.
- Frequency of treatment:
- 6 hours/day, 7 days/week

PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined as soon as possible after parturition and twice/day thereafter: number of live and dead pups and sex of pups, physical or behavioural abnormalities.
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
yes, for external and internal abnormalities and presence/absence of milk in stomach - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- SACRIFICE
- Maternal animals: Mated animals on day 5 post partum, animals when evidence of mating was detected but failed to deliver 26 days after evidence of mating, animals with no evidence of mating 26 days after completion of mating period.
GROSS NECROPSY
- Maternal animals: Gross necropsy consisted of external and internal examinations including the cervical, thoracic, and abdominal viscera. Number of implantation sites and corpora lutea were assessed.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
Maternal animals: ovaries with oviducts, uterus with vagina, adrenals, brain with brainstem, heart, kidneys, liver, thymus, spleen, lungs.
MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION: No - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- External macroscopic postmortem examinations performed on all F1 pups found dead during lactation and at termination on lactation day 4. No microscopic examination of pups.
- Statistics:
- Mean values of all exposure groups were compared to the mean value for the control group at each time interval. For all parameters except for organ weights, the standard one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the F ratio to assess significance was used. If significant differences among the means were indicated, additional testing was performed using Dunnett's t-test to determine which means were significantly different from the control. Organ weight data was analyzed only by parametric methods. Bartlett's test was performed to determine if groups had equal variances. The standard
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the F ratio to assess significance was used. If significant differences among the means were indicated, additional tests were used to determine which means were significantly different from the control: Dunnett's t-test for homogeneous data, or Cochran and Cox's modified t-test for non-homogeneous data. All t-tests were conducted at the 5% and 1% significance levels. For incidence data, a Fisher Exact Test with Bonferonni correction was performed to identify differences between the control and treatment groups. - Reproductive indices:
- Gonadal function, mating behaviour, implantation, and general fertility were evaluated.
- Offspring viability indices:
- Litter size, pup survival, sex, body weight, and the presence of gross external malformations were assessed in the offspring.

Any other information on results incl. tables
All mated female animals (except one animal in the 2000 ppm group) were found pregnant and delivered live pups. Mating indices for the male rats treated with the test article were comparable to controls. Mating, fertility and gestation indices for the female rats treated with the test article were comparable to controls. Most of the females mated at the first opportunity. There were also no treatment-related differences in the other reproductive parameters up to the time of parturition including the percent of females completing delivery and the duration of gestation, when compared to controls. There were no treatment related differences in all parturition parameters including the total number of pups delivered, the number of pups dying, the viability (4 day survival) index, the number of implantation sites and corpora lutea per dam, the pup sex ratio and the number of live pups/litter, when compared to controls.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Repeated inhalation exposure of 1-butene to female Sprague Dawley rats at levels of 0, 500, 2000, or 8000 ppm produced no evidence of adverse effects on any measures of reproductive function.
- Executive summary:
Male and female rats were exposed to 1-butene at target concentrations of 500, 2000, 8000 ppm (1147, 4589, 18359 mg/m3) for two weeks prior to breeding, during breeding and until day 19 of gestation. The dams were then allowed to deliver their litters, which were retained until post-natal day 4. There was no evidence of systemic toxicity in the parents.There were no effects on mating behaviour, fertility and gestation indices, the number of implantation sites and corpora lutea per dam, numbers of pups delivered, viability of pups at and after birth and the pup sex ratio when compared to the control group. Based on these data, the NOAEC for reproductive toxicity was the highest concentration tested (18359 mg/m3). There were no treatment-related effects on the development of pups. There were no effects on body weight gain or observed during macroscopic examination of pups at post mortem. Based on these data, the NOAEC for developmental toxicity was also the highest concentration tested (18359 mg/m3).
