Details on inhalation exposure:

GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: modified version of an apparatus described by Niessen et al., Arch. Toxicol. 20, 44-60 (1963)
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: animals were kept in PVC tubes positioned radially around the exposure chamber.
- Source and rate of air: compressed air (2 atm)
- System of generating aerosols: The liquid was injected by a motor driven syringe at a rate of 60 ml/hr.
- Method of particle size determination: The particle-size distribution in the aerosol was determined gravimetrically on Selectron-Filters, pore size 0.2 ym (Schleicher and Schuell, 8714 Feldbach, Switzerland) every hour with the aid of a "Cascade Impactor" (CT. Casella and Co. Ltd., London N.l, England).

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: The aerosol was sampled on membrane filters, pore size 0.2 µm (Sartorius, Göttingen, Germany) in the immidiate vincinity of the animals hourly after the beginning of the test. The concentration of TK-10021 was determined gravimetrically.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

VEHICLE
- Concentration of test material in vehicle (if applicable): 20 %. The output of the spray device and the dimensions of the inhalation chamber are so adjusted to each other, that the solvent evaporates on the way from the nozzle orifice to the rat containers.

TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: approximately 5 % > 7 µm, 20 % 3-7 µm, 53 % 1-3 µm, 22 % < 1 µm

Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

yes

- Frequency of observations: after 0-4 hrs, 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 7 days
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
