Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: aerosol
Type of inhalation exposure:
nose/head only
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on inhalation exposure:
GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: dynamic head-nose apparatus (BUNDSCHUH, Griesheim, Germany) and constant infusion apperatus (UNITA I, BRAUN, Melsungen, Germany)
- Rate of air: 1000 L/h

TEST ATMOSPHERE
- Brief description of analytical method used: for the quantitative analysis an indirect indicator method was used. Therefore, the substance was mixed with 0.06 and 0.19% Oil Res 0 C.J. 26125. The samples were measured spectroscopically at 525 nm and the concentration of the test substance was evaluated using a calibration line.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
yes
Duration of exposure:
4 h
Concentrations:
0.3, 0.6, 2.2 and 3.7 mg/L (analytical concentration)
0.95, 1.67, 11.4 and 22.7 mg/L (nominal concentration)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed daily for mortality and individual body weights were determined before start of the study and thereafter weekly
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
Statistics:
The statistical analysis was performed according to the "Probitanalyse" (D.J. Finney, 1971, Syndics of the Cambridge University Press, London, UK).

Exp. duration:
4 h
Mortality:
0.6 mg/L: 3 males and 1 female animal died
2.2 mg/L: 10 males and 4 females died
3.7 mg/L: 8 males and 10 females died
Clinical signs:
other: 0.3 mg/L: flight attempts and gasping breathing 0.6 mg/L: additional to the signs of the low dose group and noisy breathing and slight staggering. One female showed lateral position. 2.2 mg/L: additional to the signs of the 0.6 mg/L dose group and bloody
Body weight:
2.2 mg/L (females): weight loss (mean 8 g) from Day 7-14
3.7 mg/L (males): weight loss (mean 4 g) from the Day of exposure to Day 7
Gross pathology:
Animals that died during the study period:
0.6 mg/L: heart: acute dilatation, acute hyperemia; lung: oedema with emphysema at the edges, pulmonary lobes were wet and fleshy and excess of blood were observed
2.2 mg/L: acute dilatation, acute hyperemia; lung: severe exhalation especially at the peripheral areas, severe oedema formation, single areas wet and fleshy. One animal with slight hydrothorax
3.7 mg/L: acute dilatation, acute hyperemia; lung: laminar bleedings, slight exhalation

Surviving animals:
Organs showed no signs of toxicity.
