Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: cylindric inhalation chamber "INBIFO-MAKROLON-Tierrohre Typ 1" with stainless steel head cones, according to KIMMERLE apparatus with 20 animal tubes
- Exposure chamber volume: 40 L
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: cylindric tube
- Source and rate of air: 7.11 L air flow/min
- Method of conditioning air: 0.2 mL of test substance per min was pumped using a dosing pump of BRAUN, Melsungen
- System of generating particulates/aerosols: aerosol nozzle, nozzle orifice 0.15 mm, BUNDSCHUH; Griesheim
- Measured test substance concentration in inhalation chamber: 28.1 µL/ L air
- Method of particle size determination: no further details reported
- Treatment of exhaust air: no further details reported
- Temperature, humidity, pressure in air chamber: no further details reported
"Zyklon" (BCRIA sampler) was used to sample precipitated particles with a particle size > 5 µm
A cambridge filter was used to sample respirable particles.
Gravimetric analyses were performed to determine the respirable test substance concentration.

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: during exposure every hour the aerosol concentration was measured in the inhalation chamber directly in the area of animals noses (head cones)
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes

TEST ATMOSPHERE (if not tabulated)
- Particle size distribution: no data
- MMAD (Mass median aerodynamic diameter) / GSD (Geometric st. dev.):
1.97 µL test substance / L air was < 5 µm diameter
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Remarks:
Gravimetric analyses were performed to determine the respirable test substance concentration.
Duration of exposure:
6 h
Concentrations:
- calculated test substance concentration: 28.1 µL test substance (unchanged oil) / L air
(0.2 mL of the liquid test substance per min was pumped through the aerosol nozzle)
- measured respirable test substance concentration: 1.97 µL/ L air (< 10 µm diameter particle size)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
other: yes, sham-exposed
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: during exposure, after exposure and thereafter daily
- Frequency of weighing: at beginning, directly after exposure and at the end of 14 d observation period
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, 3 test animals and 1 control animal were euthanized 1 h after exposure, all other animals were necropsied 14 days after exposure
- Other examinations performed: Trachea and lungs of all animals were histopathologically analyzed.
