OECD SIDS o-<strong>TOLUIDINE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE<br />

The atmosphere was generated by passing nitrogen over o-toluidine liquid<br />

contained in a 3-neck round-bottom flask heated from 115 to 120°C.the<br />

vapor/aerosol was diluted with humified and O2-enriched houseline air and<br />

passed into the exposure chamber.<br />

Test atmosphere was regularly controlled.<br />

STUDY DESIGN:<br />

- Type of exposure: head-only<br />

- Exposure period: 4 hours<br />

- Post exposure observation period: 14 d<br />

DETERMINATION OF:<br />

- body weights: daily<br />

- clinical signs: daily<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

individual animal data not given, no necropsy and no histopathological<br />

examinations were performed/reported<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

Type : other: Inhalation Hazard Test<br />

Value :<br />

Species : rat<br />

Strain :<br />

Sex : male/female<br />

Number of animals : 6<br />

Vehicle : other: air<br />

Doses : saturated vapor<br />

Exposure time : 8 hour(s)<br />

Method : other: Inhalation Hazard Test, see also freetext TC<br />

Year : 1962<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: o-toluidine, no data on purity<br />

Result : After an inhalation period of 8 hours all animals survived the two week<br />

observation period.<br />

Test condition : Concentrated vapor inhalation consists of subjecting groups of six male or<br />

female albino rats to a flowing stream of vapor-loaded air.<br />

The vapor-air mixture is generated by passing 2.5 liters/minute of dried air<br />

at room temperature through a fritted glass disc immersed to a depth of at<br />

least one inch in approximately 50 ml of the test material contained in a<br />

gas-washing bottle.<br />

Inhalations are continued for time periods in a logarithmic series with a<br />

ratio of two extending from one-fourth to eight hours, until the inhalation<br />

period killing about half the number of rats within 14 days is defined.<br />

For inhalation periods of ten, five and two minutes in duration, a static<br />

technique is used, whereby 50 to 100 grams of material, spread over a<br />

shallow tray 200 square inches in area, is placed in a 120 liter sealed<br />

chamber for at least 24 hours.<br />

Six rats are then rapidly introduced by means of a drawer-type cage<br />

designed to minimize vapor loss. This static technique, continued for a<br />

maximum of eight hours if necessary, is also employed for mixtures of<br />

liquids and solids.<br />

Observation period: 14 days<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

not according current standart, exposure concentration not given, no signs<br />

of intoxication reported, no necropsy and no histopathological examinations<br />

were performed/reported<br />
