The rats were housed together (up to 5 animals per cage) in Typ 2000P ca. 2065 cm2
(polysulfone cages) supplied by TECNIPLAST, Germany. Dust-free wooden bedding was used
in this study (the present supplier is documented in the raw data). For enrichment wooden

Austria and Play Tunnel, large (Art. 14153); PLEXX b.v., Elst, Netherlands were added.

- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- inhalation: dust
- Type of inhalation exposure:
- nose only
- Vehicle:
- clean air
- Mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD):
- > 0.3 - <= 0.4 µm
- Details on inhalation exposure:
- The nose-only exposure technique was preferably selected for this dust inhalation study to minimize fur contamination of the animals with the substance, which cannot be avoided during whole-body exposure. Fur contamination may lead to an additional dermal and oral uptake (animals preen as their fur becomes contaminated). Thus an estimation of an nominal dose, taken up by the animals and its correlation to a toxic effect becomes more difficult.
Furthermore, by using the dynamic mode of operation with a low-volume chamber, the equilibrium characteristic of this exposure technique is favorable: t99 (the time to reach 99% of t he final target concentration) is shorter as compared to whole-body chambers with a higher chamber volume.
A positive pressure was maintained inside the exposure systems by adjusting the air flow of the exhaust air system. This ensured that the aerosol in the breathing zones of the animals was not diluted by laboratory air.
In order to accustom the animals to exposure they were treated with supply air under conditions comparable to exposure on two days before start of exposure (pre-exposure period). Then all t est groups were exposed for 6 hours on each workday over a time period suitable to reach 5 exposures. - Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:

- In control group, test group 1 and 2, no clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the whole study period. In test group 3, substance contaminated fur was observed in individuals after the exposure on single days during the exposure period. This finding was considered treatmentrelated, but not adverse.

- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- The lungs of all animals of test group 3 (30 mg/m³) of the final sacrifice group revealed an orange discoloration, the lung of one animal and the mediastinal lymph nodes of two animals
of test group 3 (30 mg/m³) of the recovery groups showed a yellow discoloration. These findings were regarded to be treatment-related. - Neuropathological findings:
- not examined
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the lungs of treated animals of test groups 2 and 3 (10 and 30 mg/m³), there was an increase in number of alveolar macrophages, which contained brownish particles within their cytoplasm.
An increase in number with increasing concentration was observed. Whereas in animals of test group 1 (3 mg/m³) the number of histiocytes was not increased but they still contained brownish particles in their cytoplasm when present.
In addition, two animals of test group 3 (30 mg/m³) revealed a minimal hypertrophy/hyperplasia mainly of the terminal bronchi. All animals of test groups 2 and 3 (10 and 30 mg/m³) showed the same particles observed in alveolar histiocytes within the bronchus associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). These findings were regarded to be treatment-related.
In the mediastinal and tracheobronchial lymph node, in all males of test group 3 (30 mg/m³) the same particles described for the lungs were observed within histiocytes within the lymph node. This finding was regarded to be treatment-related.
After the recovery period in test group 2 and 3 (10 and 30 mg/m³) still a minimal to slight increase in alveolar histiocytes containing brownish particles within their cytoplasm was observed. In test group 1 (3 mg/m³) the number of histiocytes was not increased when compared to control, but still brownish particles were present within the cytoplasm. Almost all treated animals revealed the same particles within the bronchus associated lymphoid tissue (BALT). These findings were regarded to be treatment-related.
The mediastinal lymph nodes of two animals that showed macroscopically discoloration were correlated microscopically to the occurrence of the same particles as observed in the lungs within histiocytes in the lymph nodes.
All other findings occurred either individually or were biologically equally distributed over control and treatment groups. They were considered to be incidental or spontaneous in origin and without any relation to treatment. - Histopathological findings: neoplastic:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Inhalation exposure of rats to up 30 mg/m³ Pigment Yellow 83 opaque on 5 consecutive days did not lead to any treatment-related adverse effects within the respiratory tract.
Some adaptive non-adverse findings comprising hypertrophy/hyperplasia of the broncholar epithelia as well as histiocytosis with particles within histiocytes were observed in histology, in absence of any changes in bronchoalveolar lavage. The changes in broncholar epithelium fully regressed, histocytosis partly regressed after 3-week recovery period.
Thus, under current study conditions, the no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC) was 30 mg/m³ for Pigment Yellow 83 opaque. - Executive summary:
To determine potential pulmonary irritation and systemic toxicity of Pigment Yellow 83 opaque, a 5-day inhalation study with recovery groups was carried out with dust aerosols. The examinations were mainly focused on potential effects on pulmonary inflammation and reversibility.
Male Wistar rats were head-nose exposed to respirable dusts on 6 hours per day, on 5 consecutive days. The target concentrations were 3, 10 and 30 mg/m³. Concurrent control groups were exposed to conditioned air. The test atmospheres were produced with brush particle generators. The dust concentration was determined by gravimetrical measurements. Particle size was determined twice using a Marple 298 cascade impactor (Part II). In addition, an aerodynamic Particle Sizer, an optical particle counter and a scanning mobility particle sizer were used in order to characterize particles in the micrometer and sub-micrometer range.
During the study, the animals were monitored for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity. Body weights were determined twice weekly. After the last exposure (study day 4) and after a recovery period of 21 days 3 animals per group and time point were sacrificed and underwent gross necropsy.
Selected organs were weighed, a broad set of organs and tissues were preserved and the respiratory tract were examined histologically. On study days 7 and 28, blood was sampled from 5 rats/group and time point. Clinical chemistry parameters, hematology parameters were examined in blood.
After blood sampling the animals underwent bronchoalveolar lavage. Lavage fluid was examined for cytological and biochemical parameters including selected antigens.
Results
Test group 3 (30 mg/m³), test group 2 (10 mg/m³), test group 1 (3 mg/m³) (Main and
recovery group animals):
• No test substance-related adverse effects.
Conclusion
Inhalation exposure of rats to up 30 mg/m³ Pigment Yellow 83 opaque on 5 consecutive days did not lead to any treatment-related adverse effects within the respiratory tract. Some adaptive non-adverse findings comprising hypertrophy/hyperplasia of the broncholar epithelia as well as histiocytosis with particles within histiocytes were observed in histology, in absence of any changes in bronchoalveolar lavage. The changes in broncholar epithelium fully regressed, histocytosis partly regressed after 3-week recovery period. Thus, under current study conditions, the no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC) was 30 mg/m³ for Pigment Yellow 83 opaque.
