- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
The exposure apparatus was a nose-only exposure system developed by Battelle Research Centres (Geneve/Switzerland). The internal chamber volume was less than 1 l. The flow in any individual aerosol delivery tube was 2 l/min (velocity 1.25 m/sec) and the total flow was 32 l/min. The aerosol was generated using 2 pneumatic nebulizers in parallel.
- Method of holding animals in test chamber:
The rats were placed in macrolon animal holders during exposure.
- Treatment of exhaust air:
The exhaust air was decontaminated by passage through a Pall HDC absolute filter.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
The aerosol concentration in the chamber was determined gravimetrically 5 times during the exposure period. In the same time interval temperature, relative humidity and oxygen content of the inhalation chamber were assessed. The particle size was analyzed with an aerodynamic particle sizer, equipped with appropriate dilution systems to avoid coincidence counts.
VEHICLE
The test article was too viscous to be directly aerosolized. Preliminary experiments showed that a dilution with absolute ethanol (End concentration 30%) was suitable to generate an appropriate concentration in the inhalation atmosphere.
- Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- determined gravimetrically 5 times during exposure period
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- nominal; 11672 mg/m3
measured; 5838 +/- 151 mg/m3 - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 males, 5 females
- Control animals:
- yes
- Details on study design:
- The control animals were treated with 61.8 g/h absolute ethanol (nominal concentration of 32.2 g/m3).
During exposure the animals were examined for clinical symptoms and mortalities at 1, 2, and 4 h, as well as 2 h after the exposure and daily thereafter for 14 days. Body weights were recorded immediately prior to exposure and on days 7 and 14 of the observation period. Gross pathological examinations were performed on all animals at day 14. - Statistics:
- Inhalation LC50 values and their 95% confidence limits were not calculated because there were no mortalities. The body weights of the treated animals and the controls were compared by analysis of variance.
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50

Additional information
Oral: In a GLP-compliant acute oral toxicity study (OECD 401, Ciba-Geigy, 904252), two groups of fasted 6-8 week old rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of the test item in arachis oil at 2000 mg/kg body weight and observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred and body weight gain was found to be normal. Piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute tests. The animals recovered within 4 days. At autopsy, a small testis was found in one male. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals. Oral LD50 of male and female is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance is of low toxicity based on the LD50 in males and females.
Dermal: In a GLP-compliant acute dermal toxicity study (OECD 402, Ciba-Geigy, 904255), two groups of 7 - 8 week old rats (5/sex) were dermally exposed to undiluted test material for 24 hours to 10% of body surface area at 2000 mg/kg body weight followed by an observation period of 14 days. No mortality occurred and normal body weight gain were found in this study. Piloerection, abnormal body positions and dyspnea were seen, being common symptoms in acute dermal tests. The animals recovered within 5 days. At autopsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found. Dermal LD 50 of male and female is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test substance is of low toxicity based on the LD50 of males and females.
Inhalation: The structurally related ester (EC 400 -830 -7) caused no mortality in an acute inhalation study (OECD 403, GLP) with aerosol.
