Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
nose/head only
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
- Generation of the inhalation atmosphere: A dust aerosol was generated by means of a dosing-wheel dust generator (Gericke/BASF). The test substance was mixed with 1 wt% of Aerosil in order to achieve a more uniform dust concentration in air. The concentration was adjusted by varying rotation of the metering disc.
- The following air flow (supply air) was set: compressed air : 1500 L/h. The exposure system was placed in an air-conditioned laboratory. Temperatures in the exposure system were 19 - 25°C. By means of an exhaust air system the pressure ratios in the inhalation system were adjusted in such a way that the amount of exhaust air was about 10% lower (excess pressure). This ensured that the mixture of test substance and air was not diluted with laboratory air in the breathing zones of the animals.

Analytical method used: Gravimetric determination of the inhalation atmosphere concentration. The preweighed filter was placed into the filtration
equipment. By means of a vacuum compressed air pump a volume of the dust aerosol was drawn through the filter. The dust concentration in mg/L was calculated from the difference between the preweight of the filter and the weight of the filter after sampling, with reference to the sample volume of the inhalation atmosphere. The concentration was corrected for the amount of the additive (1 sample about hourly).
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
5.4 mg/L
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
other: historical control for body weight
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Body weight was checked before the beginning of the test, after 7 days and at the end of the observation period. Clinical findings were recorded several times during exposure and at least once on each workday in the observation period. A check for dead animals was made daily.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, at the end of the 14-day observation period the animals were sacrificed with CO2 and were subjected to gross-pathological examination.
Statistics:
On the basis of the binomial test (Wittig, H. : Mathematische Statistik 1974, pp. 32 - 35).
