Description of key information
Skin sensitisation
In the key skin sensitisation study (Salvador, 2015b; Klimisch 1) performed according to OECD guideline 406 (guinea pig maximisation test), yttrium trinitrate induced a slight skin sensitisation response, since a slight positive reaction was observed in 20% of the test animals. However, since the incidence of the animals showing a positive reation was lower than 30%, classification is not required.
Respiratory sensitisation

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A. INTRADERMAL INJECTION TOLERANCE TEST
- 1 group of 2 animals was allocated to the intradermal injection tolerance test.
- No. of exposures: a single intradermal injection of 0.1 mL
- Site: The hair over the scapulae was removed in the allocated animals using an electric clipper with suitable blade. Six sites were selected on each animal over the shaved scapulae. Each site was injected with a single concentration of the test item.
- Concentrations: 20, 10, 5, 1, 0.5 and 0.25% w/v in corn oil; concentration of 20% w/v was found not administrable due to the viscosity of the test item formulation and concentration of 10% was administered with difficulty.
- Readings: approximately 24 hours after dosing and on day 6
- Evaluation: according to the Draize scoring scale
B. TOPICAL APPLICATION TOLERANCE TEST
- 1 group of 5 animals was allocated to the topical application tolerance test. The hair over the scapulae was removed using an electric clipper with suitable blade. Each animal was then injected intradermally at the prepared site with two injections, each of 0.1 mL, of emulsified Freund’s complete adjuvant.
- No. of exposures: 1 percutaneous exposure seven days after preparation of the test site
- Site: flank, clipped free of hair
- Concentrations: 20, 10, 5, 1, 0.5 and 0.25% w/v in corn oil
- Each animal was dosed with 2 concentrations of the test item, 1 on each flank such that a total of 5 concentrations of the test item were each dosed in duplicate. A gauze patch measuring at least 20x20 mm was soaked with 0.2 mL of the test item and placed onto the selected treatment site. When both sites of the animal had been treated, they were covered with a strip of synthetic film and the trunk wrapped with an elastic adhesive bandage to maintain the test item in contact with the skin (occlusive barrier).
- Exposure period: 24 hours, after removing of the adhesive dressings and gauze patches, the treated sites were gently cleaned by washing with lukewarm water.
- Readings: approximately 24 hours and 48 hours after removal of the dressings
- Evaluation: scoring scale was according to the following: no visible change = 0; discrete or patchy erythema = 1; moderate and confluent erythema = 2; intense erythema and swelling = 3

- Conclusions:
- The potential of the test item, yttrium trinitrate, to induce and elicit delayed dermal sensitisation was assessed in the guinea pig using the maximisation test of Magnusson and Kligman. At challenge with the test item at a 20% w/v concentration in corn oil, reaction was observed in 75% of the animals of the test group and in 40% of control animals, indicating that irritation has occurred following dosing. Therefore, a re-challenge was performed one week later in the same animals with the test item at a concentration of 5% w/v in corn oil. Reaction was still observed in 20% of the animals of the test group, while no response was observed in animals of the control group.
These results indicate that the test item, yttrium trinitrate, induced a slight skin sensitisation response in the guinea pig, since a slight positive reaction was observed in 20% of the test animals. However, since the incidence of the animals showing a positive reaction was lower than 30%, classification is not required under the CLP Regulation.

Preliminary tolerance test
The preliminary tolerance test to establish a suitable concentration for injection in the main sensitisation test indicated that the test item at a concentration of 0.5% w/v in corn oil was reasonably tolerated. No reaction was observed in the animals of the preliminary phase dosed topically at concentrations of 20%, 10%, 5%, 1% and 0.5% w/v of the test item in corn oil. Therefore, the concentration of 20% w/v was judged to be non-irritant and was selected for use at topical induction of the main phase.
Induction
Well defined to moderate/severe erythema (scores of 2 and 3) was apparent at the intradermal injection sites following administration of Freund’s complete adjuvant (test and control group, anterior sites) and at sites treated with the Freund’s complete adjuvant mixed with the test item at concentration of 0.5% w/v in corn oil or vehicle alone (test and control group, posterior sites). Well defined to moderate/severe erythema (scores of 2 and 3) was also observed at sites treated with the test item at a concentration of 0.5% w/v in corn oil (test group, median sites). Very slight erythema (score of 1) was noted at median sites treated with the vehicle alone (control group). No erythema (score of 0) was observed following 48 hours of topical exposure with the test item at concentration of 20% w/v (test group) or the vehicle alone, corn oil (control group). Based on the above results and those seen in the preliminary phase, the test item at concentration of 20% w/v was selected to be used in the challenge phase.
Challenge
Discrete or patchy erythema to moderate and confluent erythema (scores of 1 and 2) was observed in 15 out of 20 animals of the test group at 24 hours following 24 hour topical exposure period to the test item at 20% w/v concentration in corn oil. At the observation performed 48 hours after the 24 hour topical exposure period, discrete or patchy erythema to moderate and confluent erythema (scores of 1 and 2) was still apparent in 7 out of 20 animals of the test group. Discrete or patchy erythema (score of 1) was observed in 4 out of 10 animals of the control group at 24 hours following 24 hour topical exposure period to the test item at 20% w/v concentration in corn oil. Reaction of the same entity was still noted in 2 out of 10 control animals at the observation performed at 48 hours after the 24 hour topical exposure period. No reaction to the vehicle alone was observed.
On the basis of these results, the test item at the concentration of 20% w/v appeared to be slightly irritant. Due to the incidence of control animals with an irritant reaction at the 24 hour observation, and since animals did not completely recover at the observation performed 48 hours after the 24 hour topical exposure, the concentration of 5% w/v of the test item in corn oil was selected to be used in the re-challenge phase.
Re-challenge
Discrete or patchy erythema (score of 1) was observed in 4 out of 20 animals of the test group at 24 and 48 hours following 24 hour topical exposure period to the test item at 5% w/v concentration in corn oil. No reaction was noted in animals of the control group, 24 and 48 hours following the 24 hour topical exposure period. No reaction to the vehicle alone was observed.
Body weight
Body weight changes were not observed.

Skin sensitisation
Salvador (2015b) studied the skin sensitisation potential of yttrium trinitrate in female Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs according to the guinea pig maximisation test (OECD guideline 406). In this study, discrete or patchy erythema to moderate and confluent erythema (score 1 and 2) were observed in 15/20 and 7/20 animals 24 h and 48 h after patch removal, respectively, upon challenge using a concentration of 20% w/v test item in corn oil. In the negative control, discrete or patchy erythema (score 1) were observed in 4/10 and 2/10 animals 24 h and 48 h after patch removal, respectively. These results indicated that the 20% w/v concentration of test item in corn oil was slightly irritating (which was not the case during the pre-test or during the induction phase). Therefore, a rechallenge was performed with the same animals one week later using a concentration of 5% w/v test item in corn oil. In the negative control group, no response was observed 24 and 48 h after patch removal. In the test group, discrete or patchy erythema (score 1) were observed in 4/20 animals 24 and 48 h after patch removal.
These results indicate that the test item induced a slight skin sensitisation response in the guinea pig, since a slight positive reaction was observed in 20% of the test animals. However, since the incidence of the animals showing a positive reaction was lower than 30%, classification is not required.
