Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
The animals were exposed for one hour to MIPB in a 38-liter glass inhalation chamber. The MIPB aerosol was generated into the chamber by
means of a glass nebulizer through which an airflow of 10 liters/minute was passed.

No rationale for the dosage is given.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
1 h
Concentrations:
1.67 mg/L, calculated as follows:
A total of 1001.6 mg of MIPB was generated into the exposure chamber during the one-hour period during which 600 liters of air was passed
through the chamber.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: no
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs
Statistics:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not fully evaluable based on current standards
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The inhalation exposure of 10 male albino rats to 1.67 mg/liter of MIPB would not appear to be toxic, since no rats died and no serious pharmacotoxic signs were observed.
