Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

other: average nominal vapor concentration

Effect level:

0.73 mg/L air (nominal)

Exp. duration:

1 h

Remarks on result:

other: No deaths and no treatment realted effects

Any other information on results incl. tables

No deaths or untoward behavioral reactions were noted during the exposure period. The 14-day observation period was uneventful.

The average 14-day body weight gain was 48 grams which is within normal limits.

Necropsy did not reveal any gross pathologic alterations which could be attributed to inhalation of test material vapors.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: EU GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Single exposure level tested might be unsufficient to interpret the results

Conclusions:

No toxic effects of test material could be determined in test animals after the single level acute inhalation.

Executive summary:

An acute inhalation toxicity study was conducted (prior to the adoption of the OECD Guideline) wherein a group of ten albino rats was exposed to the vapors of CR-39 for a one-hour period at an average nominal concentration of 0.73 mg/L air. After exposure, the test animals were observed for the following 14 days.

No deaths, untoward behavioral reactions or gross pathologic alterations were noted in any of the test animals. Body weight gains were within the normal limits.
