Strain: other<br />

Route of administration: inhalation<br />

Exposure Period: up to 212 days<br />

Frequency of treatment: 7 hours per day/5 days per week<br />

Duration of test: up to 212 days<br />

Doses: 0.28, 7, 14, 21, 30 mg/l; 10–25 rats/dose; low dose<br />

with both sexes<br />

Control Group: yes, concurrent no treatment<br />

Method: other<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: other TS<br />

Remark: All animals were weighed at regular intervals during the<br />

study and frequent observations made of their general<br />

appearance and behaviour. Records were kept of food<br />

consumption and mortality. Various organs, including the<br />

testes, were weighed and examined grossly and<br />

microscopically.<br />

Reliability: 3 (not valid)<br />

Unsuitable test system<br />

no reproduction toxicity study, only additional comment<br />

Result: See section 5.4 for general systemic effects. A moderate<br />

Doses: 1, 10, 30, 300 ppm (converts to 0.003, 0.033, 0.098,<br />

Remark: Control group consisted of 50 animals exposed to filtered<br />

air. All animals were observed twice daily for mortality<br />

and moribundity throughout the study and weekly for signs of<br />

toxicity. On days 0, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 91, 10<br />

rats/sex/group were sacrificed and complete necropsies<br />

performed. Animals dying or sacrificed in a moribund<br />
