Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Repeated dose toxicity studies in animals exposed to Mineral Paraffin Oil via inhalation report similar results being concentration-related accumulation of alveolar macrophages with oil droplets in the lung. Exposure to high aerosol concentrations result in inflammatory responces (lipid pneumonia) to the presence of deposited aerosols.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
