5.1.2 ACUTE INHALATION TOXICITY<br />

Type : LC50<br />

Value : = 862 ppm<br />

Species : rat<br />

Strain : Sprague-Dawley<br />

Sex : male<br />

Number of animals : 10<br />

Vehicle : other: air<br />

Doses : 492, 606, 722, 799, 848, 931, 1000 ppm (approx. 2184, 2691, 3206, 3548,<br />

3765, 4134, 4440 mg/m³)<br />

Exposure time : 4 hour(s)<br />

Method : other: see freetext ME and TC<br />

Year : 1981<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: 99.7 %<br />

Method : LC50 calculated with the Probit Analysis, Finney DJ, 3rd ed. Cambridge<br />

University Press.<br />

Result :<br />

The LC50 was determined to be 862 ppm (corresponding to 3827 mg/m³)<br />

with <strong>95</strong>% confidence limits between 816 and 913 ppm. The slope of the<br />

regression analysis was 18.7<br />

CLINICAL SIGNS:<br />

Compound related signs of intoxication, observed during and immediately<br />

following exposure, consisted of tremor, slight to moderate cyanosis,<br />

muscle spasm, labored breathing, slight to moderate corneal opacity,<br />

prostation and semi- prostation, and reddish-brown nasal discharge.<br />

Clinical signs observed at 24 hours or longer consisted of corneal opacity,<br />

prostration, lethargy, labored breathing, pallor, hypothermie, reddish-brown<br />

nasal discharge and stained wet perinia.<br />

The clinical manifestations of o-toluidine were generally dose-related.<br />

BODY WEIGHTS:<br />

body weight losses of 6 to 22 % were observed 1 to 3 days post exposure,<br />

with normal weight gains occurring thereafter (individual animal data not<br />

given).<br />

Test condition : TEST ORGANISMS:<br />

- Age: 8 weeks<br />

- Weight at study initiation: 230 - 260 g<br />

- Number of animals: 10/dose<br />
