Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
other: unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on inhalation exposure:
Rats were exposed for 7 h to a vapour saturated atmosphere.
Vapour was generated by bubbling 200 L/h dry air (no CO2) through the liquid test substance in a column (volume ca. 50 mL) of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder. The glass cylinder was heated in a water bath. The air pressure was 770-772 mm Hg. Temperature in the exposure chamber was 20°C.
The nominal concentration of the test atmosphere was determined by reweighing of the substance. No further analytical measurements have been performed for determination of the test substance concentration.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
7 h
Concentrations:
0.32 mg/L (57.53 ppm)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Weighing was done only on the day of exposure. Observations were done several times at the day of exposure and daily with the exception of weekends and holidays afterwards.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
not performed
