Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- inhalation: vapour
- Type of inhalation exposure:
- whole body
- Vehicle:
- air
- Details on inhalation exposure:
- Groups of male and female rats were exposed to primary amyl acetate for 6 hours under static conditions. The test material is enclosed in a sealed 120 liter chamber for approximately 18 hours before the introduction of the rats.
Groups of male and female rats were exposed to primary amyl acetate for 4 hours under dynamic airflow conditions. The test material is metered with an FMI Lab Pump (G-6) into a heated glass evaporator. Air containing vapors of test material were swept at a flow rate of 300 l/m into the chamber which had a volume of Approximately 1330 liters with pyramidal top and bottom.
Monitoring Chamber Concentrations
Dynamic Exposure
The chamber atmosphere was analyzed for amyl acetate isomers approximately once every 8 minutes during the exposure. The mean concentration +/- standard deviation) was 976 (+/- 13.0) ppm. The mean analytical/nominal concentration ratio was 0.98; the nominal concentration being an estimate calculated from the quantity of test material consumed during the exposure and the chamber airflow rate. The concentration ratio of the n-amyl acetate isomer to total amyl acetate isomers in the chamber atmosphere was 58%
.
Static Exposure
The concentration of amyl acetate isomers was determined hourly in each of the two exposure chambers. The females were exposed to a mean concentration of 3628 (+/- 330) ppm and the males to 3693 (+/- 257) ppm. The concentration ratio of the n-amyl acetate isomer to total amyl acetate isomers in the chamber atmosphere was 68%. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

- Body weight:
- Rats exposed under dynamic condtions (4 hrs at 976 ppm)
Males gained on average 90 g during the 14 day observation period while females gained 20 g during the same time period.
Rats exposed under static conditions (6 hrs at ~3650 ppm)
Males gained on average 88 g during the 14 day observation period while females gained 10 g during the same time period. - Gross pathology:
- There were no grossly visible lesions noted in rats subjected to the test material under dynamic or static conditions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The results of these studies indicate that the 4- or 6-hour LC50 values for primary amyl acetate are greater than 19.3 mg/L
- Executive summary:
The acute inhalation toxicity of primary amyl acetate was examined. In rats exposed (static conditions) to primary amy1 acetate vapor as high as 3600 ppm (~19.3 mg/L) for six hours, no deaths occurred. Signs of toxicity were observed during the exposure, but these signs disappeared shortly after termination of the exposure. Rats exposed under dynamic conditions to 976 ppm for 4 hours also survived the exposure with less visible signs of toxicity.
