Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 403 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity)
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A group of ten male albino rats was used in this study. The rats were placed in a 70 liter all glass exposure chamber and exposed to a saturated atmosphere of the test material in air for one hour.
The material was administered as an aerosol with particles 3-5 microns in diameter.

The rate of flow was 10.0 liters per minute at a temperature of 71°f (21.67°c).
The air was passed through a desicant prior to being passed through the test material.
By differential weighing it was calculated that the rats were subjected t o a concentration of 7.5 m g / liter during the exposure period. This is an average value over the one hour period.
