Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: The design of the exposure chamber is based on the flow past nose-only inhalation chamber. The chamber consisted of three animal sections with eight animal ports each. Each animal port had its own atmosphere inlet and exhuast outlet. The animals were placed in restraining tubes and connected to the animal ports. The number of animal sections and numver of open inlets were adapted to the air flow in such a way that at each animal port the theoretical air flow was at least 1 L/min, which ensures an adequate oxygen supply to the animals. The main inlet of the test atmosphere was located at the top section and the main outlet was located at the bottom section. The direction of the flow of the test atmosphere guaranteed a freshly generated atmosphere for each individual animal.
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test substance was fed to a stream of dried pressurized air by means of a accurate dust feeder and a micronizing jet mill. The aerosol was passed through two cyclones, in order to allow larger particles to settle, and subsequently entered the exposure chamber.
- Method of particle size determination: The paricle size distribution was characterized twice during the each exposure period. The samples were drawn from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the middle section of the exposure chamber. The samples were collected with an 8 stage Marple personal cascade impactor containing fiber glass filters and a fiber glass back-up filter. Amounts of test substance collected were measured gravimetrically. Subsequently the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter and the Geometric Standard Deviation were determined.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: The temperature of the atmosphere during the exposure was between 19.6 and 20.2 °C and relative humidity was between 36 and 38%.

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The nominal concentration was calculated by dividing the amount of test substance used by the volume of pressurized air entering the exposure chamber used for exposure of the animals. Due to the small volumn of the exposure chamber the equilibrium time was negligible. The volumn of air was calculated from the averaged air flow and the exposure time. The acutual concentration was determined twenty two times during the exposure period. Samples were drawn from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the middle section of the exposure chamber. Samples were drawn through a glass fiber filter. The collected amount of the test substance in the air sample was measured gravimetrically. Sample volumes were measured by means of a dry gas meter. Subsequently the time-weighted mean concentration with the standard deviation was calculated.
