Description of key information
Acute Oral Toxicity
The key study was conducted in accordance with GLP and the standardised guidelines OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 401 "Acute Oral Toxicity" referenced as method B1 in Annex V of EEC Commission Directive 84/449/EEC. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, Zinc Hydroxystannate, in the Sprague-Dawley CFY strain rat was found to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity
The key study was conducted in accordance with GLP and the standardised guidelines OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 403 "Acute Inhalation Toxicity" referenced as method B2 in Annex V of EEC Commission Directive 84/449/EEC. The acute inhalation LC50 of the test material, Zinc Hydroxystannate, in the Sprague-Dawley CFY rat was greater than 4.35 mg/litre.
Acute Dermal Toxicity
In accordance with Section 8.5.3, Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII it is considered appropriate to omit the acute toxicity testing by the dermal route as the physicochemical and toxicological properties of the substance do not suggest potential for a significant rate of absorption through the skin.

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- INHALATION EXPOSURE
a) Atmosphere Generation
A dust atmosphere was produced using a Wright Dust Feed, controlled by a variable speed motor with the outlet nozzle located at the top of the exposure chamber.
The cylindrical exposure chamber has a volume of approximately 40 litres. The concentration within the exposure chamber was controlled by adjusting the speed of the motor and the air flow rate through the chamber. The extract from the exposure chamber passed through a 'scrubber' trap and was connected with a high efficiency filter to a metered exhaust system.
Compressed air was supplied by means of a Gast 2HBB-10-P25Y oil free compressor and was passed through a water trap and respiratory quality filters which removed particulate material above 0.005 µm before it was introduced to the nebuliser.
b) Exposure Procedure
Each rat was individually held in a tapered, polycarbonate restraining tube fitted onto a single tier of the exposure chamber and sealed by means of a rubber 'O' ring. Only the nose of the animal was exposed to the test atmosphere.
A single group of ten rats (five males and five females) was exposed to an atmosphere of the test material for a period of four hours. A target concentration of 5 mg/litre was used for the exposure. No deaths occurred and therefore no further levels were required.
c) Exposure Chamber Temperature
The temperature inside the exposure chamber was measured by a mercury thermometer located in a vacant port in the animals' breathing zone of the chamber and recorded every thirty minutes throughout the four-hour exposure period
d) Exposure Chamber Atmosphere Concentration
The chamber concentration was estimated at regular intervals during the exposure period. The gravimetric method used, employed glass fibre filters (Gelman type A/E 25 mm) placed in a filter holder. The holder was temporarily sealed in a vacant port in the exposure chamber in the animals' breathing zone. Exposure chamber air was drawn through the filter at a measured rate using a vacuum pump for a suitable time period.
Each filter was weighed before and after sampling in order to calculate the weight of collected test material. The difference in the two weights divided by the volume of atmosphere sampled was the chamber concentration.
The nominal chamber concentration was calculated as follows:
Nominal concentration (mg/litre) = Weight of test material used (mg) / Total air flow through chamber (litres)
e) Particle Size Distribution
The particle size of the generated atmosphere of the test material inside the exposure chamber was determined twice during the exposure period, after 40 minutes and during the last hour, using a Cascade Impactor. This device consisted of four glass impactor plates and a back up glass fibre filter (Gelman Type A/E, 25 mm) housed in an aluminium sampler. The sampler was temporarily sealed in a vacant port in the animals' breathing zone. Exposure chamber air was drawn through the Cascade Impactor using a vacuum pump for a suitable time period.
The impactor plates were weighed before and after sampling and the weight of test material, collected on each stage, calculated by difference. From the results obtained the weight distribution of particles in the size range > 13 µm, 4.0 - 13 µm, 1.7 - 4.0 µm and < 1.7 µm was calculated. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- The actual concentration of the test material was measured at least every 15 minutes during each exposure period.
The mean value obtained was 4.35 mg/litre (standard deviation of 1.28, nominal mg/litre 27.4) - No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 male and 5 female
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Observation of the Animals
All animals were observed, for clinical signs, at hourly intervals during the exposure, one hour after termination of the exposure and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Any deaths and evidence of overt toxicity were recorded at each observation. Additional death checks were performed at appropriate intervals.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of exposure, days 7 and 14 and at death.
At the end of the 14 day observation period, the animals were killed by intraperitoneal overdose of sodium pentobarbitone (Euthatal, 200 mg/mL, May & Baker Limited, Dagenham, Essex, U.K.). All animals were subjected to a full external and internal examination, and any macroscopic abnormalities were recorded. The respiratory tract was subjected to a detailed macroscopic examination for signs of irritancy or local toxicity. - Statistics:
- Evaluation of Data
Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (LC50) of the test material was made.
Clinical observations, bodyweight and necropsy data were examined for any adverse but non-lethal effects resulting from treatment. - Sex:
