Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: Vapor generator
- Exposure chamber volume: 70 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Each animal was caged separately
- Source and rate of air: 4.0 L/min
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 26°C and the pressure was 29. 79 inches Hg

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: no data
- Samples taken from breathing zone: no

Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
not specified
Remarks:
Average nominal vapor concentration was calculated by dividing the generator weight loss by the total volume of air used during the test.
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
0.1 mg/L (nominal), 99% of maximum vapor concentration was established.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Body weights were determined prior to inhalation exposure and for each surviving animal at the end of the 14-day observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study with male and female rats, performed equivalent to OECD 403 guideline, an LC50 > 0.1 mg/L air was determined.
Executive summary:

The test substance DPM 3 -800LC was tested in an acute inhalation toxicity study with male and female rats, performed equivalent to OECD 403 guideline. Concentration of 0.1 mg/L (nominal), 99% of maximum vapor concentration was established. No deaths occurred. At gross pathology no abnormalities were observed.

Based on the results, an LC50 > 0.1 mg/L air was determined.
