Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
nose only
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: dynamic inhalation chamber (RHEMA-LABORTECHNIK, Hofheim, Germany) with cylindrical exposure chamber
- Exposure chamber volume: 40 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: in pyrex tubes at the edge of the chamber in a radial position
- Source and rate of air: compressed air (5.0 bar) from a compressor at a flow rate of 900 L/h (entrance) and 800 L/h (exit)
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: spray-jet (Type 970, Düsen-Schlick GmbH, Untersiemau, Germany)
- Method of particle size determination: cascade impactor according to May
- Treatment of exhaust air: exhaust air was sucked through gas wash-bottles.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 21.2° C, 61.5%

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: the actual aerosol concentration in the inhalation chamber was measured 4 times gravimetrically with an air sample filter (Minisart SM 17598; 0.45 µm) and pump (Vacuubrand, MZ 2C ) controlled by a rotameter. Aerosol samples were taken once every hour during the exposure. For that purpose, a probe was placed close to the animals' noses in the inhalation chamber and air was sucked through the air sample filter at a constant flow of air of 5 L/min for 1 minute. The filters were weighed before and after sampling on an analytical balance.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

VEHICLE
- Composition of vehicle: 21% v/v oxygen content in the air

TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: see Table 1 under “Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables”
- MMAD (Mass median aerodynamic diameter) / GSD (Geometric st. dev.): 4.481 µm / 3.19
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Remarks:
gravimetric
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
5.05 mg/mL (analytical concentration)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: examination of clinical signs and mortality were performed at least once daily. Body weights were determined before exposure on Day 1 and on Days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviations of temperature, humidity and analytical concentration were calculated.
