- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: exposure chamber according to Sachsse et al (1973, 1976): Breathing atmosphere (aerosol) is passed through a central
cylindrical tube vertically positioned to which animal confinement chambers are radially attached. From the internal active exposure chamber,
small tubes lead to the breathing zone of the attached confinement chambers. Surplus breathing air and exhaled air are discharged through
an outer cylindrical tube positioned around the internal active chamber.
- Exposure chamber volume: volume of the internal active chamber: 1 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: Macrolon restraint tubes of suitable size and shape vertically attached to the exposure chamber
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: The test atmosphere was generated by a constant volume reservoir feeding a Hospitak No. 950
nebulizer following dissolution with water. Following the nebulizer, a dilution system was used to dilute the test article output of the nebulizer
with clean air to the concentration required for the study. The aerosol generating system was designed to create an aerosol with a mass median
diameter of 3 µm or less. Following aerosolization, the test article was discharged into the exposure chamber.
- Method of particle size determination: separation of particles using a Mercer 7 stage cascade impactor. The sampling air flow was 1.0 L/min
and the mass content of the different stages of the impactor was assessed gravimetrically.
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: 21°C, 12% (relative humidity), slight positive pressure in inner chamber and slight negative
pressure in outer chamber.
TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: Test substance was sampled by passing test atmosphere through three in line gas washing bottles
containing ice-cold acetonitrile as solvent. Aliquots of this solution were analyzed by HPLC (solvent acetonitrile/water 70/30, column RP-18).
KMC was used as external standard for calibration (see Appendix D).

- Clinical signs:

- Body weight:
- Males: Mean body weight decreased from test day 1 to day 8. Until test day 15, mean body weight increased again,
but the starting value was not reached.
Females: Mean body weight decreased continuously over day 8 up to day 15 (only 3 animals at day 15). - Gross pathology:
- red spots in the lung
- Conclusions:
- In an acute inhalation toxicity test using only one concentration (5.64 mg/L, limit test), 5 rats/sex were exposed to KCM (diisopropylnaphthalene) as aerosol for 4 hours.Two of the female rats died at day 14 (mortality 2/10 total). The LC50 for acute inhalation toxicity can be assessed to be >5.64 mg/L based on the mortality observed.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The assessment of acute toxicity has been based on read-across to closely structure-related substances, such as methylnaphthalene and diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN). It is assumed that MIPN isomer mixture (MIPN) shows a similar acute toxicity profile. Hence, no classification is required for the target compound, as LD/LC50 values are above classification limits of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
