hr after exposure. Beginning at about 5 hr after exposure, many animals<br />
exhibited inappetence. At the same time, both inspiratory and expiratory<br />
dyspnea appeared in some animals.<br />
NECROPSY FINDINGS: Lesions in respiratory tract in animals that died<br />
limited to the posterior pharynx, larynx, anterior trachea, and in<br />
approximately 3% of the animals, lungs.<br />
POTENTIAL TARGET ORGANS: Respiratory tract.<br />
SEX-SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES: Not relevant.<br />
Test condition : SOURCE: sodium combustion products, formed by sodium in combination<br />
with oxygen.<br />
PURITY: 95%<br />
IMPURITY/ADDITIVE/ETC.: 4.5% NaOH and 0.5% NaHCO3<br />
ANY OTHER INFORMATION: Not reported.<br />
Test substance : TEST ORGANISMS:<br />
- Source: Not reported.<br />
- Age: Adult<br />
- Weight at study initiation: Average weight 320 g.<br />
- Number of animals: 1 trial of 10 animals.<br />
- Controls: Not reported.<br />
ADMINISTRATION:<br />
- Type of exposure: Whole body inhalation to aerosols of sodium<br />
combustion products.<br />
- Concentrations: 11 concentrations between 500-3000 mg/m3.<br />
- Particle size: median aerodynamic diametre ± GSD: 0.74±1.82 micrometre<br />
- Type or preparation of particles: Sodium combines with oxygen to form<br />
combustion products. These react subsequently and rapidly with<br />
atmospheric components. In a typical atmosphere the predominant<br />
reactions proceed rapidly from the oxide forms to NaOH, then to Na2CO3.<br />
They all form in the atmosphere without appreciable settling and produce an<br />
aerosol on the order of 1 micrometre aerodynamic equivalent diameter.<br />
EXAMINATIONS: mortality, clinical signs, necroscopy.<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
Acceptable, well documented publication which meets basic scientific<br />
principles. Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions.<br />
