Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
There were no test substance related deaths.

No changes in breathing pattern or behaviour were observed.
No abnormalities were noted after exposure. Individual daily
observations prior to exposure revealed sparsely haired skin
in females exposed to 26.9 or 80.7 ppm. A significant
decrease in body weight gain was observed in males and
females exposed to 26.9 or 80.7 ppm. A significant decrease
in food intake was seen in males and females exposed to

80.7 ppm. Food conversion efficiency was also decreased in
males of this test group.

Laboratory findings:
Haematology revealed statistically significantly prolonged
prothrombin time in males exposed at 80.7 ppm.

Clinical biochemistry revealed statistically significantly
increases in alanine aminotransferase activity (males and
females), triglyceride concentration (females), and
albumin/globulin ratio (males) at 80.7 ppm when compared to
controls. The chloride concentration was decreased in a
concentration-related way and reached significance in males
exposed to 26.9 or 80.7 ppm and in females exposed to

80.7 ppm.

A statistically significantly increase in urinary volume and
a tendency towards decreased urinary density were found in
females exposed to 80.7 ppm.

Effects in organs:
After four weeks of exposure to 80.7 ppm statistically
significantly increased relative and absolute liver weights
were observed in females. Later after 13 weeks of exposure
relative weight of the liver was significantly increased in
both males and females. Absolute liver weight was also
significantly higher in females of this test group when
compared to controls. Relative weight of the kidneys was
statistically significantly increased in females exposed to
80.7 ppm.

No test substance-related macroscopic or microscopic
findings were recorded.
