- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation toxicity, male and female Sprague Dawley rats (5/sex/dose) were exposed via whole-body exposure to test material hydrodesulphurised middle distillate at measured concentrations of 0, 3.6, 3.5, 4.0, 6.9, or 7.3 mg/L for 4 hours. The study consisted of two phases; the preliminary phase consisted of 5 males and 5 females exposed to measured concentrations of 3.6 mg/L for 4 hours. The mortality rate for this study was 60%. Four additional test levels were selected for the main study. Animals were observed for 14 days post-exposure followed by a gross macroscopic examination, with microscopic examination of selected tissues including the trachea and lungs. The equivalent aerodynamic diameter ranged from 3.1 to 4.1 µL and the geometric standard deviation ranged from 1.84 to 1.96.
There were no deaths during the 4hr exposure period, and macroscopic and microscopic findings were limited to the lungs, where moderate to severe pulmonary irritation was apparent. Clinical signs commonly included dyspnea and discharge from the nose and eyes. The LC50 for both males and females was determined to be 4.6 mg/L.
This study is classified as a Klimisch score of 2, reliable with restrictions, because it is an acceptable and well-documented study report.
