Guideline:
OECD Guideline 403 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
One group of 3 male and 3 female Wistar rats was nose-only exposed to the dry powder aerosol of Gelbpigment E4GN atat an actual concentration of 5222 mg/m³ for 4 hours. The animals were observed for mortality, weight and clinical signs through day 14. A gross necropsy was performed.

Effect level:
5 222 mg/m³ air
Based on:
test mat.
Exp. duration:
4 h

Mortality did not occur up to the maximum technically attainable concentration of 5222 mg/m³.

Clinical observations revealed the following sings: Irregular breathing patterns, labored breathing patterns, high-legged gait, atony, piloerection, and motility reduced, hypothermia, and transiently decreased body weights. Towards the end of the first postexposure week all rats appeared to be indistinguishable from the control.

The respirability of the aerosol was adequate to achieve the objective of study, i.e. the average mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) was 2.8 µm, the average geometric standard deviation (GSD) was 2.7.

Executive summary:

A study on the acute inhalation toxicity of Gelbpigment E4GN on rats has been conducted in accordance with OECD TG#403 (2009). Test procedures were adapted so as to comply also with the EU Directive 92/69/EEC, and especially OECD GD#39 (2009). One group of 3 male and 3 female Wistar rats was nose-only exposed to the dry powder aerosol of Gelbpigment E4GN atat an actual concentration of 5222 mg/m³ for 4 hours. The animals were observed for mortality, weight and clinical signs through day 14. A gross necropsy was performed. The aerosol was generated so that it was respirable to rats. The results can be summarized as follows:

LC50(inhalation, 4h) -males&females: > 5222 mg/m³

Mortality did not occur up to the maximum technically attainable concentration of 5222 mg/m3. Clinical observations revealed the following sings: Irregular breathing patterns, labored breathing patterns, high-legged gait, atony, piloerection, and motility reduced, hypothermia, and transiently decreased body weights. Towards the end of the first postexposure week all rats appeared to be indistinguishable from the control.

In summary, the aerosolized test substance (solid aerosol) proved to have essentially no acute inhalation toxicity in rats.

Additional information

In the acute oral toxicity study no signs of intoxication were seen after the application of 5000 mg/kg bw to male and female rats. None of the animals died. Weight gain was not influenced. None of the animals sacrificed at the end of study showed any noticable gross pathological findings.

In the acute inhalation toxicity study mortality did not occur up to the maximum technically attainable concentration of 5222 mg/m³.

Clinical observations revealed the following sings: Irregular breathing patterns, labored breathing patterns, high-legged gait, atony, piloerection, and motility reduced, hypothermia, and transiently decreased body weights. Towards the end of the first postexposure week all rats appeared to be indistinguishable from the control.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
only available study

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
only available study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the results of the acute oral toxicity study (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw) and the acute inhalation toxicity study (LC50 > 5222 mg/m³) a classification is not justified.
