Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

0, 20 mg SASIL/m³
Basis:

No. of animals per sex per dose:
25
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
25 male rats per control and treatment group each were assigned for determination of the silicon content of rat lungs exposed to the test substance (20 mg/m3) for 13 application days (Monday, Wednesdays, Friday; 5 h/days).

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Body weight and weight changes:
no effects observed
Details on results:
Although a significant increase in silica content of the lungs occurred by the treatment (242 ppm vs. 142 ppm), no treatment-related toxic effects were noted. The weight gain of the animals was normal and no macroscopic changes were found on the inner organs.

Sex:
male/female
Basis for effect level:
other: no treatment-related and adverse effects were noted
